The Final Prayers

After the mysteries of the Holy Spouses Rosary, one concludes with the “Hail, Holy
Queen” to Mary who represents humanity’s highest participation in the salvation Christ
won for us. She is honored by the whole heavenly court, beginning with Joseph, her holy
spouse. This is followed by the accompanying prayer of Pope Leo XIII, “To you, O Blessed
Joseph.” Finally, there is the Holy Spouses Litany and concluding prayer:
