THE MYSTERIES OF SORROW

THE PREPARATORY PRAYERS

 If the recitatio n of the Rosary is made as an act 

of prayer for specific objects, these may bedeclared here or before the collect that concludes the Preparatory Prayers.

 All make the Sign of the Cross with the crucifix,as the Leader begins,

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

 All say,

I BELIEVE in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And

of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, theonly-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his

Father before all worlds, God of God,Light of Light, Very God of very God;

Begotten, not made; Being of onesubstance with the Father; By whom all

things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven,

And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost andthe Virgin Mary, And was made man; And

was crucified also for us under PontiusPilate; He suffered and was buried; And

the third day he rose again according to theScriptures: And ascended into heaven, And

sitteth on the right hand of the Father; And

he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose

kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the

Lord, and giver of Life, Who proceedethfrom the Father [and the Son]; Who with

the Father and the Son together is

worshipped and glorified; Who spake bythe prophets. And I believe one holy

Catholic and Apostolic Church; Iacknowledge one Baptism for the

remission of sins; And I look for the

Resurrection of the dead; And the Life of the world to come. Amen.

 If preferred, the Apostles’ Creed may be used instead of the above:

I BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ his only Son

our Lord: Who was conceived by theHoly Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary:

Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Wascrucified, dead, and buried: He

descended into hell; The third day herose again from the dead: He ascended

into heaven, And sitteth on the righthand of God the Father Almighty:

From thence he shall come to judge thequick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost: Theholy Catholic Church; The Communionof Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: the

Resurrection of the body: And the lifeeverlasting. Amen.

On the first solitary bead, all pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed bethy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is i n heaven. Give

us this day our daily bread. And forgive us

our trespasses, As we forgive those whotrespass against us. And lead us not into

temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and

the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

 Here may be said:

O Mary, conceived without sin:  Pray for us who have recourse unto thee.

On the first small bead is said:

Hail Mary, full of grace: The Lord is with

thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,

who giveth us faith.

 Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us

 sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen.

Or

Son of Mary, Son of the living God,have mercy upon us sinners, now and 

in the hour of our death. Amen.On the second bead:

Hail Mary, full of grace: The Lord is withthee. Blessed art thou among women, and

 blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,

who is our hope.

 Holy Mary, … Or  Son of Mary, …

On the third bead:

Hail Mary, full of grace: The Lord is withthee. Blessed art thou among women, and

 blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,

who loveth us with an everlasting love.

 Holy Mary, … Or  Son of Mary, …

On the chain:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and

to the Holy Ghost:  As it was in the

beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O, my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of hell; and bring all souls to

heaven, especially those most in need of t hymercy. Amen.

Let us pray. O God, whose only-begotten

Son, by his life, death, and resurrection,hath purchased unto us the rewards of life

eternal: Grant, we beseech thee, thatmeditating upon these mysteries of the

faith, we [together with those on behalf of whom we shall do so] may both imitate

what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same thy Son, Jesus

Christ our Lord.  Amen.
