The SAINT ROSARY |
Praying the Rosary properly means combining meditation with vocal prayer. This is what makes the Holy Rosary such a spiritually rewarding experience. Each Mystery of the Rosary focuses the worshiper's attention on a major event in the lives of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary. There are 20 Mysteries in all, ordered chronologically into four sets: Joyful Mysteries; Sorrowful Mysteries; Glorious Mysteries and Mysteries of Light.
Monday (Joyful) - Tuesday (Sorrowful) - Wednesday (Glorious) - Thursday (Light) - Friday (Sorrowful) - Saturday (Joyful) - Sunday (Glorious)
AT THE BEGINNING
In the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
- O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Thy mercy. Amen
- 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.
