Be Faithful and Attentive* — Book One

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.  (Pause to place yourself in God's presence — you are nothing, God is All).  I immerse myself in the Divine Will, and as I pray the Holy Rosary, I multiply it to the infinite to give Our Lady all the Rosaries She has asked for from everyone — and more.  I call all souls to pray the Rosary daily and devoutly, and I redo all Rosaries in the Divine Will to make them perfect and complete before God.  For Thy Kingdom to Come, I offer this Rosary for ( here make your intentions ), and for all the intentions of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

As I offer the Creed, I intend to make a perfect act of faith in the name of all creatures, calling all souls to the light of the true Faith, in the Holy Catholic Church, and to beg pardon and make reparation for all atheism and false beliefs:  I believe in God, the Father Almighty...

So that everyone on earth will abandon the human will to do the Divine Will as Its done in Heaven:  Our Father...
