📝 A helpful TIPSHEET can be used to follow the script with numerous translations and transliterations available.
▶️ The most recent RECORDING will be available shortly after the broadcast. Look for title "L'Angelus e Santo Rosario" and select playback date that matches day of the week for the mystery being recited as explained in the Vatican's guide. Note about YouTube video playback: the recording on the Loreto channel sometimes has ads; however, the one on the Vatican channel often does not.
🗓️ On days when the public broadcast is superceded by other major observances, examples here can be a resource:
🌹 For an uplifting personal experience, consider lighting a special candle upon starting the prayers, or gently ring a small bell or burn favorite incense during the half-hour ritual. These actions and prayers honor the Blessed Virgin Mary while requesting her maternal intercession on behalf of petitioners. As the mother of Jesus Christ, her influence is a powerful force that draws us closer to her son who defeats every enemy. He honors his mother as well by enabling her role in the pursuit of saving souls for heaven.
✝️ The format begins with a hymn, sign of the cross, and the Angelus, a brief prayer to commemorate the Incarnation, with elements of both the Annunciation and the Nativity. The Angelus is followed by the Holy Rosary. Slight variations might occur as intercessions are often added in response to world events.
🌎 On Sundays, certain holy days, or major liturgical feasts, the live broadcast of Holy Rosary is omitted to prioritize Eucharistic Mass. Sometimes in place of The Angelus, the Regina Caeli is recited, for example, during Lent.

Rosary for Peace from The Vatican's "Click To Pray"
(Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network)
Among the names that we give our Heavenly Mother is found “Queen of Peace.” This is the last invocation in the litanies, as if, in calling her “Queen of Peace,” we sum up all the others. The Pope has given us this call: “Make use often of this powerful instrument which is the prayer of the Holy Rosary, that it may bring peace to your heart, to your family, to the Church and the world.” We walk, along with the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, the prayer of the Holy Rosary, saying with Mary “Behold, the servant of the Lord.” We ask her who knew to “save in her heart” the things of God, to accompany us to contemplate in interior silence, the mysteries of the life of her Son. Praying for peace in the world, with the Rosary of the Virgin Mary, cultivates peace of the heart and transforms our surroundings in true “workshops of peace.”
