Catholic Prayers

I have been receiving many requests to post the Rosary and other Prayers in Malayalam (with English Lyrics) for those who speak Malayalam but cannot read Malayalam. One of the readers of this site named Sophia Thomas has been kind enough to share many Malayalam prayers. I am really grateful to her for her whole hearted effort. May God bless her for helping others.
