THE CREED

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 power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into the dead; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. 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 life everlasting .Amen.

Our Father in heaven Holy be your name, your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Do not bring us to the test, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

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.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope; To you do we cry poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, most holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

1. Make the Sign of the Cross and say the "Apostles Creed" on the crucifix.

2. Say the "Our Father" on the large bead. 3. Say three "Hail Marys" on the large beads. 4. Say the "Glory be to the Father" 5. Announce the first Mystery; then say the Our Father. 6. Say ten "Hail Marys while meditating on the Mystery. 7. Say the "Glory be to the Father" 8. Announce the Second Mystery: then say the "Our Father". Repeat 6 and 7 and continue with the Third, Fourth and Fifth Mysteries in the same manner. 

THE 1ST JOYFUL MYSTERY - THE ANNUNCIATION The Archangel announces to Mary that she has been chosen by God to become the Mother of The Saviour who was to come into the world as man. When Mary understood that this was God’s holy Will, she consented and said, "Be it done unto me according to Thy word." The Holy Spirit at once overshadowed her with His power and the Word was made flesh; that is, the Son of God become man!

THE 2ND JOYFUL MYSTERY - THE VISITATION When Mary learned from the Angel that her cousin Elizabeth was about to have a son, she hastened with Joseph to visit her in Hebron 90 miles away, in order to stay and assist her for about three months. The presence of Jesus in Mary’s womb purified yet the unborn St. John the Baptist from original sin, and filled him with sanctifying grace. We must learn from Mary’s example charitably to give assistance to those in need.

THE 3RD JOYFUL MYSTERY - THE BIRTH OF JESUS Contemplate with joy and gratitude the Saviour born at midnight in a stable, under conditions of great poverty. The angels announce the news to poor and simple sheperds who came at once to worship Him. Angels above the cave sing the praises of God, and the three Magi arrive later on. Let us rejoice in Jesus our Saviour. And give Him joy by receiving Him often in Holy Communion.

THE 4TH JOYFUL MYSTERY - THE PRESENTATION When the Infant Jesus was 40 days old, Mary and Joseph took Him to the temple in Jerusalem to be presented to the eternal Father, according to the law. The High Priest Simeon who offered up the Child prophesied that Jesus would suffer contradictions and persecutions from wicked men in times to come. We too who were presented to God and consecrated in the Holy Baptism. Let us always be faithful to our Baptismal PROMISES.

THE 5TH JOYFUL MYSTERY - THE FINDING IN THE TEMPLE When the boy Jesus was 12 years old, He accompanied His parents to the temple in Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. After the ceremonies the child was missed, and actually lost for three days. At last, they found Him in the temple, conversing with the doctors of the law. Should we lose Jesus by serious sin, we must hasten to regain His friendship and His grace by sincere repentance and Confession.

THE 1ST SORROWFUL MYSTERY - CHRIST AGONY IN GETHSEMANE During Christ’s hour-long prayer on that Thursday night, He foresaw that millions would reject Him and His invitation to Heaven! This thought threw in into an agony of suffering, so that He sweated blood that trickled down His body while He prayed thus, "Father, not My will, but Your Will be done." We too, when suffering intensely, must pray for strength to do Gods holy will, because He wills only what is best for us.

THE 2ND SORROWFUL MYSTERY - THE SCROUGING Jesus the Son of God is stripped of His clothes and tied to a broken shaft of a pillar. He is then scourged until His innocent flesh is torn to shreds, exposing His bare bones. Jesus is atoning for sins of impurity. We must never defile our body which is the temple of the holy Spirit, by any impure action.

THE 3RD SORROWFUL MYSTERY - THE SROWNING OF THORNS Christ the King of Kings submitted to this mocking ceremony of being crowned as a king, with a crown of thorns!. For a septre, they made Him hold a long reed. His torturers then pulled His beard, spat upon Him, blindfolded Him, and struck Him saying, "Hail, King of the Jews! Tell us who it is that struck You!." Jesus thus atoned for all the sins of bad thoughts and impure desires.

THE 4TH SORROWFUL MYSTERY - THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS Jesus is made to made to carry His cross up Mt. Calvary. This torture coming after the scourging and the crowning with thorns, causes Jesus to suffer incredibly from the loss of blood, thirst and weekness. He falls three times on the way, but nevers complains, being mindful only of His Heavenly Father’s will. Our suffering are our crosses sent to us by God. We must bear them patiently in atonement for our sins.

THE 5TH - SORROWFUL MYSTERY - THE CRUCIFIXION The first word Jesus uttered when hanging on the cross was a prayer for His enemies: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He then told His mother to adopt all mankind as her children, and then promised Heaven to the repentant thief. After three hours of agony, He commended His soul to His eternal Father, bowed His head, and died. After Christ’s example, we are bound to forgive our enemies

THE 1ST GLORIOUS MYSTERY - THE RESSURECTION Part of three days after the crucifixion, very early on Sunday morning, Christ came out of His tomb in glorified form, as He had so many times foretold. The guards seeing the tomb empty, fled in terror. Our bodies too will be glorifies on the last day, if we die in Gods friendship. The damned will NOT be glorified, rather the reverse. Let us pray for the grace of a happy death.

THE 2ND GLORIOUS MYSTERY - THE ASCENSION Forty days after the Resurrection, our beloved Saviour commanded His apostles to go and preach the Good News to all nations. After blessing them, in the presence of five hundred people gathered there, He rose heavenward. As disciples of Christ ourselves, we must live according to the TEN COMMANDMENTS if we wish to gain the ETERNAL joys of HEAVEN.

THE 3RD GLORIOUS MYSTERY - THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT On Pentecost day, ten days after Christ’s Ascension, the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and the Blessed Virgin, as Jesus had promised them. He appeared in the form of tongues of fire resting above their heads. We too received the Holy Spirit at Confirmation, and should be apostles in our little way, to help our non-Catholic brethren into the true Church.

THE 4TH GLORIOUS MYSTERY - THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN About three days after the burial of Mary the apostles went to her tomb to pray, and discovered to their profound amazement, that she the sacred body was no longer there. It was therefore clear that God did not permit this sinless body to corrupt in the tomb, but ordered the angels to take her up to Heaven, body and soul united.

THE 5TH GLORIOUS MYSTERY - THE CORONATION OF MARY IN HEAVEN As soon as the HUMBLE VIRGIN MARY entered Heaven, God exalted Her to such a wonderful degree of glory, that all the inhabitants of heaven (Angels as well as Saints) acclaimed her as their QUEEN. Mary revealed it to Blessed Alanus that God has chosen the Hail Mary prayer to be a special means of saving our soul. Let us therefore take a delight in saying this prayer everyday without fail, especially in the Rosary.

I bless and thank God, for, having in his Mercy given me this confidence in Thee, the pledge, as I believe, of my eternal salvation. Alas, too often in past times have I miserably fallen, because I had not recourse to thee, I know that with thy help I shall conquer. I know that thou will help me, if I recommend myself to thee, but I fear lest in the occasion of falling, I should cease to call upon thee, and, so should loose my soul.

deserve Thy dreadful punishment because they have crucified my loving Saviour Jesus Christ, and

never to offend Thee again and carefully to avoid the occasions of sin.

for me the grace never to sin again.
