FIRST MYSTERY: The Resurrection of Our Lord. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And the angel answered and said unto the women: "Fear not ye! For I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here. For he is risen, as he said". (Mat 28,1-6)
SECOND MYSTERY: The Ascension of Our Lord. And as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, "Peace to you"; being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. And he said to them, "Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having." And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet. ... "And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye -- abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high." And he led them forth without -- unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them, and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven. (Luk 24,36-51)
THIRD MYSTERY: The Descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Act 2,1-4)
FOURTH MYSTERY: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. Blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies. ... Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it. (Jdt 13,18-20; 15,10)
FIFTH MYSTERY: The Coronation of Our Lady as Queen of Heaven and Earth. There appeared a great sign in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. (Rev 12,1)
I BELIEVE in God, the
Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. I BELIEVE in Jesus
Christ, God's only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the
third day he arose again. He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at
the right hand of the Father. He will come again 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.
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, is seated 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. Amen.
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 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.
HAIL, Holy Queen,
Mother of mercy, 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 valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious
advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us. And after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O
loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, o Holy Mother of God, that
we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. 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 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.
St.
Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the
wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast
into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
