I recently added the chaplet of Our Lady of Czestochowa to my Etsy collection. Below are the suggested prayers. God Bless. Jen
Our tradition explains that Mother Mary sat for the portrait of Our Lady of Czestochowa as Luke the Evangelist painted her beautiful portrait. The painting was found by St. Helen who brought it to her son, the Roman emperor Constantine. In 1382, it was taken to Poland and made it through numerous attacks against the Polish people. Our Lady of Czestochowa is also known as the Black Madonna.
Prayers:
On the nine beads, say:
The Our Father - 3 times
The Hail Mary - 3 times
The Glory Be - 3 times
Concluding prayer:
O Almighty and merciful God! You gave the Polish nation a wondrous help and defense in the most holy Virgin Mary and You honored Her sacred image at Jasna Gora with remarkable veneration of the faithful.
Grant in Your mercy that, under Her protection, we may struggle confidently throughout our lives and at the moment of death be victorious over our enemy. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Lady of Jasna Gora, our Mother, Queen of the Polish nation! Trusting in your maternal goodness and powerful intercession with your Son, we place before you our humble prayers and petitions. To you we commend all our needs, in particular... (your intention), and all children of the Polish Nation whether in their native land or elsewhere in the world.
Amen.
