From Our Lady
MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY
FIRST JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE ANNUNCIATION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Flame of Your Heart which is Holy Love would not permit You to say ‘No' to the angel Gabriel. Immerse our hearts in this Flame, Most Blessed Virgin. Help us always to be willing instruments of God.

SECOND JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE VISITATION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You journeyed to visit Your cousin Elizabeth because You believed in the message the angel Gabriel brought You from Heaven. Pray for us, that our lives be journeys of faith through the Message of Holy Love.

THIRD JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE NATIVITY
Most sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You were turned away at the inn when Your Son was about to be born. Help us never to turn away from You and Jesus. Pray with us for those who reject Him in the world and do not open their hearts to Him.

FOURTH JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE PRESENTATION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You presented Your Infant Son in the temple out of respect for tradition. Keep us faithful to Your Son's Church and the Tradition of Faith handed down to us through John Paul II.

FIFTH JOYFUL MYSTERY – THE FINDING OF JESUS IN THE TEMPLE
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You were separated from Your Son for three days and You searched for Him sorrowing. Pray with us, dear Mother, for those who have fallen away from the Church, that they too, will sorrow for their loss of faith.

FIRST SORROWFUL MYSTERY – THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son suffered agony at the thought of God's Will. He surrendered to the Will of the Father and an angel came to comfort Him. Pray for us to accept the crosses in our lives as God's Will, and to realize that we too will be given the comfort and grace to carry them.

SECOND SORROWFUL MYSTERY – THE SCOURGING AT THE PILLAR
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, though innocent and undeserving, Your Son submitted to a scourging. He did not defend Himself. Help us to seek the greater good and not always our own comfort in the world.

THIRD SORROWFUL MYSTERY – THE CROWNING WITH THORNS
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son was mocked and crowned with thorns because people did not believe in Him. Pray for us, Mother of God, that we will courageously stand up for Church Tradition and holiness through Holy Love, even though, it is not popularly accepted.

FOURTH SORROWFUL MYSTERY – THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son carried His Cross out of love for us. Dear Blessed Mother, pray that we will accept our crosses for love of Jesus. His Cross was made heavy by the weight of our sins. Our crosses are made heavier when we do not surrender to them.

FIFTH SORROWFUL MYSTERY – THE CRUCIFIXION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son died on Calvary and made Himself an Eternal Victim on the altar of the world. We pray with You now, dear Mother, that belief in His Real Presence will increase in every heart throughout the world.

FIRST GLORIOUS MYSTERY – THE RESURRECTION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You suffered at the foot of the Cross only to rejoice when Your Son rose from the dead. Help us to suffer the present day tribulations in preparation for His second coming.

SECOND GLORIOUS MYSTERY – THE ASCENSION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Beloved Son returned to Heaven victorious over sin, to take His place at the Right Hand of the Father. Help us as we pray with You, dear Mother, to see that our home is in Heaven. Heaven is the inheritance of the holy. Then assist us in our own personal holiness in the present moment.

THIRD GLORIOUS MYSTERY – THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, humbly we ask You to petition Your Heavenly Spouse that He will flood our hearts with every gift, every fruit. Then we ask Your prayers to be faithful apostles of Holy Love in an unbelieving world.

FOURTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY – THE ASSUMPTION
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You were taken to Heaven body and soul because Your Beloved Son did not want Your most pure body to undergo the corruption of the grave. Now in Heaven, we ask You to look down on us, dearest Mother. Keep us pure under the mantle of Your protection. Do not allow our hearts to be corrupted by the world.

FIFTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY – CORONATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You are Queen of Heaven and Earth. Solemnly, we petition You from this valley of tears. Let Holy Love reign in all hearts so that we can begin the victorious reign of Your Immaculate Heart here on earth.

(To be recited at the end of the Rosary)
We offer this Rosary to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with St. Joseph, for the restoration of the priesthood to the Tradition of Faith and for all the unconverted. Make us Your humble instruments of Holy Love.

Mary, Protect our faith!
