The Sorrowful Mysteries
Tuesdays
and Fridays |
|
To
begin the devotion on the Rosary for the
Sorrowful 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. |

The
Gospel Of Mark 14:32-36
Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he said to
his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
He took
with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be troubled
and distressed. Then he said to them, "My soul is
sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch."
He
advanced a little and fell to the ground and prayed that
if it were possible the hour might pass by him; he said,
"Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this
cup away from me, but not what I will but what you will."
When he
returned he found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon,
are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?
Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The
spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."
Withdrawing again, he prayed, saying the same thing. Then
he returned once more and found them asleep, for they
could not keep their eyes open and did not know what to
answer him.
He
returned a third time and said to them, "Are you still
sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough. The hour has
come. Behold, the Son of Man is to be handed over to
sinners. Get up, let us go. See, my betrayer is at hand."
Then,
while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve,
arrived, accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs who
had come from the chief priests, the scribes, and the
elders.
His
betrayer had arranged a signal with them, saying, "The man
I shall kiss is the one; arrest him and lead him away
securely."
He came
and immediately went over to him and said, "Rabbi." And he
kissed him. At this they laid hands on him and arrested
him.

Now on the occasion of the feast he used to
release to them one prisoner whom they requested.
A man called Barabbas was then in prison along
with the rebels who had committed murder in a
rebellion. The crowd came forward and began to ask
him to do for them as he was accustomed.
Pilate answered, "Do you want me to release to you
the king of the Jews?" For he knew that it was out
of envy that the chief priests had handed him
over.
But
the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him
release Barabbas for them instead. Pilate again
said to them in reply, "Then what (do you want) me
to do with (the man you call) the king of the
Jews?"
They
shouted again, "Crucify him."
Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?"
They only shouted the louder, "Crucify him."
So
Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released
Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged,
handed him over to be crucified.

The soldiers led him away inside the palace, that
is, the praetorium, and assembled the whole
cohort. They clothed him in purple and, weaving a
crown of thorns, placed it on him.
They began to salute him with, "Hail, King of the
Jews!" and kept striking his head with a reed and
spitting upon him. They knelt before him in
homage.
And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of
the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes,
and led him out to crucify him.

The Gospel Of John 19:12-22
Consequently, Pilate tried to release him; but the
Jews cried out, "If you release him, you are not a
Friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a
king opposes Caesar."
When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out
and seated him on the judge's bench in the place
called Stone Pavement, in Hebrew, Gabbatha. It was
preparation day for Passover, and it was about
noon. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your
king!"
They cried out, "Take him away, take him away!
Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I
crucify your king?"
The chief priests answered, "We have no king but
Caesar."
Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.
So they took Jesus, and carrying the cross himself
he went out to what is called the Place of the
Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified
him, and with him two others, one on either side,
with Jesus in the middle.
Pilate also had an inscription written and put on
the cross. It read, "Jesus the Nazorean, the King
of the Jews."
Now many of the Jews read this inscription,
because the place where Jesus was crucified was
near the city; and it was written in Hebrew,
Latin, and Greek.
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,
"Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that he
said, 'I am the King of the Jews."
Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have
written."

| |

Pause and meditate on

|
The Our Father |
| |
|
|
The reading for the
Fifth
Sorrowful Mystery is: |
|
|
| |
The
Gospel Of Luke 22:14-20
When the hour came, he took his place at table with
the apostles.
The Gospel Of Luke 23:33-46
When they came to the place called the Skull, they
crucified him and the criminals there, one on his
right, the other on his left. [Then Jesus said,
"Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."]
They divided his garments by casting lots.
The
people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile,
sneered at him and said, "He saved others, let him
save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of
God."
Even
the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to
offer him wine they called out, "If you are King of
the Jews, save yourself."
Above
him there was an inscription that read, "This is the
King of the Jews."
Now
one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus,
saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and
us."
The
other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, "Have you
no fear of God, for you are subject to the same
condemnation? And indeed, we have been condemned
justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to
our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal."
Then
he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom."
He
replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be
with me in Paradise."
It
was now about noon and darkness came over the whole
land until three in the afternoon because of an
eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was
torn down the middle.
Jesus
cried out in a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I
commend my spirit"; and when he had said this he
breathed his last.

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! |
