The Glorious Mysteries: ( Wednesdays and Sunday)


In the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

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 sited 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. 

 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 full 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. (3 times)

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.


1. The First Glorious Mystery:  The Resurrection. I desire to have a strong faith. Think of Christ resurrection three days after his death. 

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.

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


2. The Second Glorious Mystery: The Ascension. I desire the virtue of hope. Think of how Christ ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection.

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.

3. The Third Glorious Mystery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit. I desire the zeal for the glory of God. Think of how Christ fulfilled his promise when he sent the Holy Spirit upon Mary and his apostles.

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.

4. The Fourth Glorious Mystery: The Assumption. I desire the grace of a holy death. Think of how Mary was assumed to heaven to reunite with her divine son.

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.

5. The Fifth Glorious Mystery: The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I desire to always love the Blessed Virgin Mary. Think of the crowning of Mary as queen of heaven by her divine son.

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, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, 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 vale 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 merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen


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 you, 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.


May the divine assistance always remain with us. Amen

And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

In the name, of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
