Entrance Antiphon [ Ps 119:46-47 ]
Lord, I shall expound your law before kings and not fear disgrace; I shall ponder your decrees, which I have always loved.

Collect
Heavenly Father, in the youthful Saint Rose, your servant, you combined wonderful courage of soul and unsullied innocence. As we celebrate her merits may we imitate the example of her virtues. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Offerings
Lord, we see the wonder of your love in the life of the virgin Rose and her witness to Christ. Accept our gifts of praise and make our offering pleasing to you. Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon [ Mt 25:10 ]
The bridegroom has come, and the virgins who were ready have gone in with him to the wedding.

Prayer after Communion
Lord, we have been nourished with heavenly food. May we deserve to come to the wedding banquet of the Lamb, who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.
