We recall how Mary is praying in her little room. Heaven and earth rejoice greatly
over this simple Virgin kneeling in prayer. May I also be pleasing to God when I pray.
We pray this mystery to be always humble.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Mary and Joseph are making the three day journey from Nazareth to
visit Elizabeth and Zachary; outwardly Mary is so poor, inwardly so rich with Jesus in Her.
Like Mary, I will bear God in my heart throughout my life.
We pray this mystery to love always our neighbor.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…

O my Jesus…
We recall how Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the temple. There, upon the arms of a
priest, he is offered to God. In a similar way, He will be offered today through the hands of
the priest at Holy Mass. Often, I will offer the child Jesus, to God at holy mass, at
consecration, and at the holy communion.
We pray this mystery to offer ourselves always generously to God.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how deep the sorrow of Mary and Joseph must have been when losing the
child Jesus. On the streets and plazas, they do not find Him. There too, we seek in vain for
peace and happiness. They found him in the temple. What a touching example of piety,
Jesus, gives me here.
We pray this mystery to be always faithful to our duty, and to give always a good
example.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To Thee
do we cry poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up sighs, mourning and
weeping in this valley of tears! Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy
towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
We recall how Jesus is kneeling in a secluded spot, and sees before Him the many
and horrible sins, men have committed. He prays and suffers and a bloody sweat issues
from His pores and trickles down to the ground. In hours of trouble and loneliness, I will pray
with the same spirit of resignation; ‘’Father, not my will but Thine be done.
We pray this mystery to be always resigned to God’s holy will.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how the soldiers carry out their bloody work on Jesus. How limitless is His
patience, no words escape his lips. No sacrifice is too great for Him to save my soul. He can
scarcely endure more falls to the ground covered with His own blood.
We pray this mystery to merit the grace, never to sin against holy purity.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Jesus is crowned with thorns, presented to the people with the words;
‘’Behold this poor man!”. Jesus looks upon the people and awaits their compassion, but they
cried, “Away with Him. Crucify Him!” What bitter disappointment are these words for Jesus.
We pray this mystery to fight against our pride and be humble always with the
humble Jesus.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Jesus carries on wounded shoulders His heavy cross. Three times He
falls to the ground, so heavily do my sins weigh upon His cross. Thereby, He shows me how
often I relapse into sin, especially into the same sins.
We pray this mystery to ask for the grace to deny ourselves often, to takes up our
cross daily, and follow Jesus.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Jesus is nailed to the cross. Rough nails are driven through His hands
and feet. From His lips comes only the sincere prayer: “Father, forgive them, for they do not
know, what they do.” Jesus is Divine Love in the midst of the hate of this world.
We pray this mystery that Jesus may not forsake us in the hour of our death.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To Thee
do we cry poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up sighs, mourning and
weeping in this valley of tears! Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy
towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
We recall how Jesus rose from the tomb on Easter morning. The Divine Prince begins
a new life that has no end. The five wounds shine like five gems. He appears to His Mother
and changes her sorrow into inexpressible delight and joy .
We pray this mystery to ask for the grace, to rise from the grave of sin, and bad
habits, to a new life of grace.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Jesus bless His beloved Mother and the apostles for the last time. Then
before their very eyes He ascends into heaven; with sadness but still with infinite joy, they
watched Him go.
We pray this mystery that we always walk in such a way that our path will lead us to
heaven.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Mary, the Apostles and holy women prayed for the coming of the Holy
Spirit. On Pentecost morning, He came down upon them and enkindled in their hearts the
fire of Divine love. I too must invoke Him. Without Him, I can accomplish nothing good. He
dispenses all graces.
We pray this mystery that the Holy Spirit may enlighten and strengthen us always,
and impart to us His Seven Gifts.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Jesus has taken His Mother to heaven with body and soul as a
generous reward for her devoted love to Him while on earth. Mary, my Mother, received my
poor soul at the hour of my death and lead it to thy Divine Son, my judge.
We pray this mystery that we may be granted the grace of final perseverance in a
virtuous life and a happy death.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
We recall how Mary enters heaven and is greeted by the endless jubilation of angels
and saints. Jesus sets upon her head and crown as Heaven’s Queen. She has endured the
greatest suffering, therefore, to her has been given the greatest happiness.
We pray to serve Jesus always faithfully on earth, and by so doing, may merit the
crown of glory in heaven.
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To Thee

weeping in this valley of tears! Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy
towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
As Jesus Christ descends into the waters of Jordan, the heavens open wide and the
voice of the father declares Him Beloved Son, while the spirit descends on Him to invest Him
with the mission which He carry out.
Am I living as a Son of God, according to the baptism I have received, fulfilling the
mission entrusted to me by the Spirit according to the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
As the wedding of Cana, Christ changes water into wine and opens the hearts of the
disciple to faith. Thanks to the intervention of Mary the first among believers.
Am I aware that my life should be completely changed by the presence of Christ from
water into wine- asking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God to the people of Galilee, calling of sinners to
conversion, forgiving of sin, and healing the sick.
Am I aware that I have the Divine command to announce God’s Kingdom till the
furthest end of the earth, by preaching, prayer, and action, according to the example of the
Blessed Virgin Mary?
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
Jesus is transfigured on Mount Tabor to prepare the apostles for His coming passion,
death, and resurrection.
Am I willing to have my life in order to experience the resurrection, following the
example of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
During the Last Supper, the Lord gave the greatest sign of His Love for us by offering
His Body and Blood for the salvation of the world.
Am I willing to offer myself in sacrifice for the glory of God and the salvation of souls,
on the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Our Father…
10 Hail Marys…
Glory be…
O my Jesus…
