Rosary to the glory of God the Eternal Father

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Almighty Father, we are yours, receive all that we have, and all our deeds, words, thoughts and desires. Let them be according to Your will. Amen.

Pray the Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

Pray the Our Father

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.

Pray the Apostles Creed/Nicene 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 Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall 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.

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
Maker of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial
of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy Catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Recite 7 Glory Be’s

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.

Pray the Come Holy Spirit prayer

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created. And Thou shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

FIRST MYSTERY

My God, by the power and love you displayed when You created heaven and earth, give us an increase in faith and love, and enlighten the whole world.

*Pray the Merciful God prayer followed by 12 Glory Be’s, and the Come Holy Spirit while meditating upon the Mystery.

Merciful God, Eternal Father

Merciful God, Eternal Father, give fullness of victory to your Church! Have mercy on the people of the world: our own, our benefactors, even on our enemies, and grant them salvation. Bless those who are kind to us and forgive those who harm us. Protect our leaders and all those who do not as yet know You; open their eyes and change their hearts so that they may turn to You in faith. Come to the assistance of the poor, the orphans, prisoners and the unfortunate. Protect the pure of heart. Lead travelers in peace to their destination. Heal the sick, comfort the dying and bring into your kingdom the souls in purgatory. Keep and protect us now and at the hour of our death, and grant that we may die believing in You. Amen.
