3rd decade prayer:
Saint Joan of Arc, be with me in all my struggles. Like the strong men of
Israel, experienced in warfare, who constantly carry the sword at their side, to guard against unforeseen attacks
during the night, may I ever be prepared for the combat. Together with the protection of the angels and saints grant
me also your own; inspire my endeavors; be my help and my
light to guide me to Jesus, our Chief, and when my earthly mission is
accomplished, may I expire like you, repeating with love, ‘Jesus! Jesus!
Jesus!' - Saint Joan of Arc, pray for us!
Say 1 Hail Mary for each of the five beads.
Concluding prayer:
Pray for us, Saint Joan of Arc, that we may be
made worthy of the promises of Christ. |
