The Second Glorious Mystery: The Ascension

Secundum Mysterium Gloriosum: Ascensio

(Virtue: Hope)

O glorious Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Ascension, when thy divine Son, after forty days on earth, went to Mount Olivet accompanied by His disciples and thee, where all adored Him for the last time, after which He promised to remain with them until the end of the world; then, extending His pierced hands over all in a last blessing, he ascended before their eyes into heaven,

I humbly pray,

  • 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. 


    Latin:
    Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum. Advéniat regnum tuum, fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie, et dimítte nobis débita nostra sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem, sed líbera nos a malo. 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. (x10)

    Latin:
    Ave, María, grátia plena,
    Dóminus tecum.
    Benedicta tu in muliéribus,
    et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

    Sancta María, Mater Dei,
    ora pro nobis peccatoribus
    nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.  Amen. (x10)

  • Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

    Latin:
    Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

  • O my Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

    Latin:
    Dómine Jesu, dimitte nobis débita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferni; perduc in caelum omnes ánimas, praesertim eas, quae misericórdiae tuae máxime indigent.
