Rosary Prayer

Catholic Rossary and Chaplets

 

 In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Sprit, Amen

 

 Take the crucifix in hand, and prayerfully cecite the Apostle's Creed:

 

 I belive 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 Sprit.

Born of the Virgin Mary,

Suffered under Pontious Pilate,

Was crucified, died, and was buried.

He decended into hell;

The third day, He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God,

the Father almighty;

from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I belive in the Holy Sprit;

The holy Catholic Church;

The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins;

The resurrection of the body;

And life everlasting.

Amen

 

 There are next five beads on the rosary, and beginning with the first large bead.

recite the prayer that Jesus taught us:

 

 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 tresspasses, as we forgive those who trasspass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

 

 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art 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 to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Sprit. As it was in the beginning, is now , and ever shall be, world without end.

 

 O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, and save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of your mercy.

 

  The Joyful Mystery of the Rosary

 

 The First Joyful Mystery : The Annunciation  The Angel Gabriel declares God's will for Mary to become the Mother of Jesus. and Mary humbly and amazedly accepts that Salvation will enter the world through her body.

 The Second Joyful Mystery : The Visitation    Mary vistts her cousin Elizabeth, who carries Jong the Baptist in her womb. He leaps for joy at the sound of Mary's voice. We see a testament that within the wombs of all women live children with very present  individual souls, present before their birth.

 The third joyful Mystery: The Birth of Jesus  Salvation entered the world in suffering, lived it in suffering and finished it in suffering. Suffering is the one and only thing that  All Human beings share in the world, and God chose to both share it with us, and to sanctify it by attaching it to God himself. Suffering is no longer empty and meaningless, but is purposed for the Salvation of the World.

 The Fourth joyful Mystery: The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple   Simeon proclaims the coming of the Lord. What do his ancient eyes see?

 The Fifth joyful Mystery: The Finding of the boy Jesus in the Temple   Jesus says He is about  His Father's work. He has always know who He is, and yet he submits in obedience to His earthly Parents and Guardian.
