Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Apostle's 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 Ghost, born of
the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was
buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven, sits 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
The Lords Prayer
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 (say 3)
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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 to the Father
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, Amen.
Fatima Prayer (Optional)
O my Jesus, forgive us of our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all
souls into heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
The Glorious Mysteries
The First Glorious Mystery, THE RESURRECTION
Jesus rose from the dead. With it He conquered death, defeated Satan, sin, and the world, and gave new life to mankind. The joy of the risen Christ is greater than pain. The hope that comes from His resurrection is the victory over our own fear of dying.
Prayer Intention
Let us pray in thanksgiving and in praise, giving glory to the risen Lord. Let
us offer to the Triumphant Prince of Peace, all those in despair, those who
have lost hope, lost faith; that in the Resurrection of Jesus will be their
own future. He is The Way and The Truth and The Life.
Our Father…

those in most need of thy mercy.
The Second Glorious Mystery, THE ASCENSION
He goes to prepare for us, and has returned to The Father, in heaven. And He has promised: Where I am, you can be too. Through His ascension, He has shown us a preview of our life hereafter. The Good Shepherd guides us through the valley of darkness.
Prayer Intention

that they may turn back to God. Let us pray that we might give direction to
the children in the world, that Jesus may become their first priority.

The Third Glorious Mystery, THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Before His Ascension, Jesus had said, because I go, the Paraclete will come. The Spirit of God descended upon the apostles. They were empowered with the special gifts of God, to carry on the Lord's work of redemption. With them, was Mary, and the other women, praying with the infant Church. She has never ceased to pray for us and the Church.
Prayer Intention
Let us offer these prayers for our own Pentecost. For an increase in the Holy
Spirit's gifts to us. We pray for a deeper faith, and trust in God; for a complete
submission to the will of God. Let us pray especially for gifts to the young,
that they may be able to stand up to the deception Satan brings to their daily
activities.
Our Father…
1. Jesus said, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Paraclete,
to be with you always. (Jn. 14:16) - Hail Mary…

The Fourth Glorious Mystery, THE ASSUMPTION
Mary is assumed body and soul into heaven. Reunited with Her Son, Jesus. Through Her assumption, Mary became the reflection of Her risen Son. She is also the model of the perfection to which we are called.
Prayer Intention
Here let us ask Mary to especially pray with us for the souls in purgatory;
that She might join with us in intercession for those who can no longer help
themselves. Let us pray especially for the souls forgotten, who have no one
to remember them.
Our Father…

sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls into heaven and help especially
those in most need of thy mercy.
The Fifth Glorious Mystery, THE CORONATION OF MARY
Mary is crowned Queen of the angels and saints in heaven. Queen of the Holy Rosary, Queen of Peace, Queen of Apostles, Queen of Prophets. How many titles have been given to the Mother of the Incarnation of the Word! Her soul magnifies the Lord; all nations shall call her blessed. Her glorious coronation in heaven is our hope.
Prayer Intention
Let us offer this mystery for Mary's intentions. Her intercession, Her constant
appearances, Her role as Mediatrix of graces. Let us pray that Her efforts in
our behalf, her efforts to lead all Her children back to Her Son, will not be
impeded.
Our Father…

(Prayer After The Rosary)
Hail Holy Queen
Hail! Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To
you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed
fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement! O loving! O sweet Virgin Mary…
Leader: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
All: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Leader: Let Us Pray…
All: 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,
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.
Leader: May the Divine Assistance remain always with us.
All: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest
in peace.
Leader. May the peace and
blessing of the Almighty God, the
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit remain with us forever.
All: Amen.
THE MEMORARE (OPTIONAL)
All: Remember O most loving Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone
who fled to your protection implored your help, or sought your intercession
was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we turn to you, O Virgin or
virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful.
Oh Mother if the Word incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in your mercy
hear and answer us. Amen
