Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary

Sign of the Cross:
All:        In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Apostles’ Creed:
All:        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; on the
            third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is
            seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will
            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: for the intentions of our Holy Father

           come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
All:        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: for an increase of the virtue of faith
Leader:    Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou
           among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
All:        Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour
            of our death. Amen.
Hail Mary: for an increase of the virtue of hope
Hail Mary: for an increase of the virtue of charity

Glory Be:

All:        As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without
            end. Amen.

            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 toward us; and after

              has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation; 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.
All:          Amen.

Prayer During Coronavirus
from Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles, President of the USCCB

All:          Holy Virgin of Guadalupe,
              Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas.
              We fly to you today as your beloved children.
              We ask you to intercede for us with your Son,
              as you did at the wedding in Cana.
              Pray for us, loving Mother,
              and gain for our nation and world,
              and for all our families and loved ones,

the protection of your holy angels,
that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
For those already afflicted,
we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.
Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,
wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
In this time of trial and testing,
teach all of us in the Church to love one another
and to be patient and kind.
Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.
We come to you with confidence,
knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother,
health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
