The Glorious Mysteries (Short Form)
Sundays and Wednesdays

To begin the devotion on the Rosary for the Glorious Mysteries, while holding the crucifix of the rosary make

 

The Sign of the Cross

 
 

In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

 

On the crucifix of the rosary recite

 

The Apostle’s Creed

  I believe in God,
The Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by
The power of the Holy Spirit
And born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.

He ascended into heaven,
And is seated
At the right hand of the Father.
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.
 

On the first large bead of the rosary recite:

The Our Father

  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.

 

On each of the three small beads of the rosary, for an increase of faith, hope and charity recite:

The Hail Mary


 
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.

 
 

On the next bead of the rosary after the third Hail Mary recite:

 
The Glory Be


 
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.

Then recite:

 
The Fatima Prayer
  O my Jesus,
Forgive us our sins,
Save us from the fires of hell
And bring all souls into heaven,
Especially those who most need
Your divine mercy.

Concluding Prayers for the Devotion on the Rosary for the Glorious Mysteries:
 
  Hail Holy Queen



 
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,
O most gracious Advocate,
Your eyes of mercy toward us,
And after this exile,
Show us the blessed fruit
Of your womb, Jesus!
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary!
   
 

Let us Pray

 
 


 

O God, Whose only begotten Son
By his life, death and resurrection,
Have purchased for us
The rewards of eternal salvation,
Grant, we pray,
That meditating upon these mysteries
In 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. Amen
  May the divine assistance remain always with us.
Amen.

May the souls of the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

May the blessing of Almighty God:
Father, son and Holy Spirit,

Descend upon us and remain with us always.
Amen.
