INTRODUCTION TO THE ROSARY

  • In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Latin:
    In nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Amen.

  • I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into Hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall 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 life everlasting. Amen.

    Latin:
    Credo in Deum Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ, et in Iesum Christum, Fílium eius únicum, Dóminum nostrum, qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus; descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis; inde ventúrus est iudicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

  • Let us pray for our sovereign Pontiff, Pope Francis

    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:

    Oremus pro Pontifice nostro, Papa Francisco

    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.

OUR FATHER.

  • 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. (x3)


    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. (x3)

  • 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.

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

Primum Mysterium Gaudiosum: Annuntiatio

The first Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation

(Virtue: Humility)

Sweet Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel appeared to thee with the tidings that thou wert to become the Mother of God; greeting thee with that sublime salutation, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee!" and thou didst humbly submit thyself to the will of the Father, responding: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to thy word,"

I/we 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.

  • 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.

Mary, my mother, I/we bind these snow-white buds with a petition for the virtue of
