Joyful Mysteries
(Mondays and Saturdays)
“By the sign of the Holy Cross…”, “In the name of the Father…”
– “O God, whose only begotten Son obtained for us the prize of eternal salvation, with His life, death and resurrection, we ask you, in venerating the mysteries of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to live her teachings and attain the promises they contain.”
For the Pope and his intentions:
Creed.
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; forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen
In honor of God the Father who created us, and created the Virgin Mary; Hail Mary full of Grace the Lord is with thee; blessed are you among all women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
“In honor of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Son of the Virgin Mary, our Redeemer; Hail Mary full of Grace…”
“In honor of the Holy Spirit, our sanctifying God, Spouse of the Virgin Mary; Hail Mary full of Grace…”
Glory… Glory to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, now and forever, forever and ever. Amen.
“O my Jesus, forgive us, deliver us from the fire of hell, take all souls to Heaven and help especially those most in need”
“Bless the Holy Father the Pope, our diocesan bishop, sanctify the clergy Father Alexandre and our families, give us health, peace and eternal salvation.”
“O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to You.”
“Jesus meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like Yours”
“Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us”
“Saint Joseph, pray for us”
“Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael Arcangels, pray for us and defend us in combat.”
INTENTIONS OF THE ROSARY

Lk 1:26-27: “At that time the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin, promised in marriage to a man named Joseph. She was a descendant of David and the virgin’s name was Mary.” Word of the Lord. Glory to you, Lord Jesus.
Lord, we honor your Incarnation in Mary’s womb. We ask you and the Blessed Mother, humility and a spirit of prayer.

With a great cry, she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” Word of the Lord. Glory to you, Lord Jesus.

They were all going to register each in their hometown. Being of David’s family and descendants, Joseph went up from the city of Nazareth in Galilee to the city of David, called Bethlehem, in Judea, to register with Mary, his wife, who was pregnant. While they were in Bethlehem, the days for delivery were fulfilled and Mary gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him and placed him in the manger, for there was no room for them in the inn.”
Word of the Lord. Glory to you, Lord Jesus.

And when the days for purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they took the child to Jerusalem to present it to the Lord as it is written in the Law of the Lord: ‘Every firstborn of the male sex must be consecrated to the Lord.’ Therefore, they were to offer in sacrifice a pair of turtledoves or two pigeons, as it is written in the Law of the Lord.”

After the Easter days, they began the return journey, but the baby Jesus remained in Jerusalem, without his parents noticing. Thinking he was in the caravan, they walked a whole day. Then they began to look for him among relatives and acquaintances. Having not found them, they returned to Jerusalem in search of them. Three days later he was found in the Temple. He was sitting in the middle of the teachers, listening and asking questions. Everyone who heard the boy was amazed at his intelligence and his answers.” Word of the Lord….. Glory to you, Lord Jesus.

Salve Regina, Mater Misericordiae Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Evae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostend.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
All for Jesus, nothing without Mary!
