On Wednesday and Sunday: GLORIOUS MYSTERIES

Our Lady of the Rosary

Sign of the Cross 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sat at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

Our Father

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary

3 Times: Hail Maryfull of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen.

Glory be

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Fatima Prayer

O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.

 

1) RESURRECTION: Jesus is resurrected after three days in the tomb 

Dear Jesus, You were resurrected after three days in the tomb, as You said You would be. But You didn't make it a big deal and tell all those who doubted You to see what You did. In all humility and simplicity, You did what You had to do without showing off. You taught us simplicity; that all that matters is to seek Your approval patiently, to do our tasks in simplicity no matter how big they are, and to not seek to prove who is wrong or right. You told us that we will know a tree by its fruits. You also comforted us and made us trust every word You said by Your resurrection, as You had said. Please help the entire humanity to know Who saved them and Who to trust. You love us so much that You want us to trust You fully and be under Your protection. We have a God Who is so powerful and capable to resolve all our problems, that no one should leave in fear or desperation. You are more than capable. Please bring joy into a world that is sad and lost. Bring peace and comfort to the troubled. 

Our Father

2) ASCENSION: Jesus goes back to Heaven, rising in front of His disciples

Dear Jesus, You were resurrected as You had said, and You went back to Heaven in front of Your disciples, as You had said. What touches us the most is that before You rose from earth, You comforted Your disciples and told them that You are not leaving them alone, but that You are going to prepare a place for them so that they can join You later to live eternally happy. You sent them to spread the good news that You are the way, the truth and the life. That the one who believes in You shall not die and will eternally be happy. And You cared to remind them that You will send the Holy Spirit to strengthen them in the mission You gave them. I thank You, for when we think we are alone, or tired, or incapable, You have thought about everything we will need – and You provide. We love You, Jesus, and we want to fully trust You and love You more. Please give us the strength necessary to see, to love You, and to be Your messengers among Your children in the world, so that we can continue to help You save it. 

Our Father

3) DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Holy Spirit comes down on disciples on Pentecost 

Dear Jesus, You went back to celebrate Your accomplishments on earth, saving us and returning to Your paradise. But You didn't forget our little strengths. You kept Your promise to send the Holy Spirit to Your disciples, and send the Holy Spirit to all of us who need His help and strength. Today the Holy Spirit is still with us, especially when we need Him for clarity, to enlighten the way, to love ourselves and one another, to heal us in soul and body, and to help us understand God's ways. Dear Jesus, please send me the Holy Spirit to help me in the many needs of my heart – those I am aware of and those I am not aware of. 

Our Father

10 Hail Mary’s

Glory be…

4) THE ASSUMPTION: Mary goes back to Heaven, body and soul

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, you have pleased God infinitely in your life. You have done His Will to perfection, and because of that you have been placed nearest to the Holy Trinity. You were chosen to be Jesus' Mother because you were so pure. You never condemned anyone. You always wanted to help those in need, and protect their dignity and reputation. You are our perfect model on how to live this life, and how to love God and others best. Please, Mother who was given to us to be our own Mother: teach us how to be like you, to make good choices in our lives and to follow God's ways. Pray for us so that we may have enough discernment to recognize the truth. So many people are broken by injustice, lack of love, loneliness, and rejection... please awaken our hearts to know how much God loves us, and to know how much you love us. You have said in the past that if we knew how much we are loved, we would cry of joy. Our hearts have been so hardened that we don't feel it. Pray for us, Mother.

Our Father

10 Hail Mary’s

Glory be…

Fatima Prayer: O My Jesus…

 

5) CORONATION OF MARY AS QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Mary becomes the queen of Heaven and earth 

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, You became queen of Heaven and earth as a reward for how you lived your life so lovingly and purely. Oh Mother, we know that everyone who lives their lives lovingly and correctly will also know joy in Heaven, eternally. You are now our Mother and our Queen, which makes us princesses and princes! Mother, why do we even ever worry about anything when we have the one who loves us most, who can give us whatever we ask for? But what we need most is love and light in this world – please ask Jesus to give it to us. Pray for us as you always do, and open our hearts to the truth of the love of God, and help us love Him back and appreciate Him. We love you. 

Our Father

The Salver Regina

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins and Mother. To thee do I come. Before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Final Prayer

Let us pray. O God, Whose only begotten Son by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Sign of the Cross

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
