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,
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; on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; from there He will 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.
Joyful Mysteries
Annunciation
The angel Gabriel announces to Mary her role
in salvation history. Mary cooperates with
God's plan and obediently renders her yes to
Almighty God. During these days of
quarantine, we pray for the grace to be
humble and obedient to what others ask of us,
so that the virus may be contained in a timely
manner.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth
Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth and offers the
aged woman help during the last weeks of her
miraculous pregnancy. Just as Mary immediately
went in haste to help, we ask for the grace to help
others when their needs becomes apparent. We
also pray for those who will attend to the sick and
dying - for the clergy who will anoint; the first
responders who will transport; the medical
professionals who will diagnose and treat.
Please protect them O Lord.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Nativity of our Lord
Mary accompanies Joseph to Bethlehem for
the census which must have been a difficult
journey for her since she was so close to
giving birth. We entrust all pregnant
women to the Lord and Mary's intercession;
may they bring their child safely and
healthily to birth. May these families
rejoice as Joseph and Mary did when they
adored their child for the very first time.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
Simeon tells Mary that a sword of sorrow
will pierce her heart. The evangelist Luke
adds that this happens so that the thoughts
of many hearts might be revealed. Mary, as
our mother, understands our sorrows,
anxieties, and emotions. Let us pray for
those who now mourn and are filled with
sorrow, may the Lord console them and
comfort them in this hour.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Finding of Jesus in the Temple
During these days of quarantine and
pandemic, we seem lost ourselves. We are
unable to worship on Sundays as a Christian
community. In these trying times, we turn
to our faith and find hope. Let us pray for
people who had previously turned away
from God, that in this moment of trial, they
find Jesus once again, and in Him find their
comfort and peace.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
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 our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn them, most gracious advocate, thine eyes
of mercy toward us and after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
V: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of
Christ.
LET US PRAY
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and
resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal
life. Grant, we beseech Thee, that while meditating on
these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, that we may imitate what they contain and
obtain what they promise, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
The empty tomb on Easter Sunday is a sign of hope
for all believers. Let us pray for all who will die
during this time, whether from the coronavirus or
from a different illness. May God grant consolation
to their family and friends, as the Lord Jesus consoled
Mary Magdalene, and may God protect and bless
funeral directors and grave diggers.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
The Ascension
Before ascending to Heaven, Jesus tells the apostles
to go forth and baptize, making disciples of all
nations. Let us pray for the Holy Church of God,
that during this difficult time, she may strive to live
this command of Jesus. Let us pray for ourselves,
that we may strive to live as faithful disciples of
Jesus.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles while
gathered in the upper room. Many symbols are
associated with the Holy Spirit - wind, fire, and
breath. Knowing the coronavirus affects the lungs,
let us pray for those unable to breathe on their own
right now, that the Holy Spirit will fill their lungs
with the gift of breath, life, and healing.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
At the end of Mary's life, God chose to bring
her body and soul into eternal life. Now,
Mary prays for us at the hour of our death as
we ask her so often in the Hail Mary. Let us
ask Mary to pray for those who are at the
hour of their death.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
The Queenship of Mary
Each year we celebrate Jesus as King of the Universe. It is
quite fitting for us, to call upon Mary as Queen of Heaven
and Earth. So many are devoted to Mary, her titles, and
shrines. In this time of pandemic, we turn to Mary's
intercession, asking her to obtain from her son the grace of
healing for the sick and the containment of the
coronavirus. Mary, pray for us, pray for the sick and the
dying, pray for our clergy and medical professionals, pray for
those who are most in need.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
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 our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

of mercy toward us and after this our exile

Sorrowful Mysteries
Agony in the Garden
After celebrating the Last Supper with His apostles, Jesus
goes to the Garden of Gethsemane and prays before being
arrested. In that prayer, He prayed that all might be
one. During this time, we are united as a community in our
suffering and isolation. But as believers, we are united in
our prayer to Almighty God for the containment and
eradication of the corona virus. As we suffer our own agony
now, let us ask for the grace to pray as Jesus did, and as we
pray, may it fulfil Jesus' prayer for unity.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Scourging at the Pillar
During the Passion, Jesus was beaten and
tortured. We are mindful of those who are
immunocompromised and susceptible to
disease. For them, any illness can be another
scourging, another blow to their health. During this
time of pandemic, we pray for their health, safety,
and protection from the virus. Please Lord spare
them in this moment.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Crowning with Thorns
While earthly rulers have crowns made of
gold, the crown of our savior was that of
thorns. Jesus is the King of Life and the
King of our lives. During this time, let us
pray for the grace to put Jesus at the
center of our lives and allow him to be the
King and Lord of all that we do.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
The Carrying of the Cross
During this time, we all have been asked by our
Lord to carry new and unexpected
crosses. May our experience of the cross, help
us to know suffering in a new way. Let us walk
with Jesus and from his example find our
strength and courage to carry our cross.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
The Crucifixion
Jesus Christ became incarnate to be our savior. He
saves us from our sins and let us ask him to save us
now from the coronavirus. Jesus' death on the cross
defeated death. Let us also pray for those who will die
this day, especially from the coronavirus, by the blood
of Jesus may they find their forgiveness and
redemption. Just as Jesus said to the Good Thief,
"Today you will be with me in paradise." may they hear
similar words when they go forth to meet Christ our
Lord. *
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life
our sweetness and our hope.

Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs,

Luminous Mysteries
Baptism of the Lord
Jesus begins his public ministry by going to John the
Baptist and asking for him to baptize him, even though
John confesses that he is not worthy to untie the thong
of his sandal. John prayed, "He must increase, I must
decrease." During this time of quarantine, we pray for
growth in the virtue of humility and our dependence on
God for all that we have.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Wedding at Cana
In the prayer of Pope Francis entrusting the world to
Mary's intercession during this troubling time, he said,
"You know what we need, and we are sure you will
provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to
joy and to feasting." Let us ask Mary to notice the
needs of our lives, families, communities, and
world. May she intercede for us now, so we can return
to joy and feasting of ordinary life.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Proclamation of the Kingdom
Jesus often proclaimed the Kingdom of
God saying, "Repent for the Kingdom of
God is at hand." Let us ask the Lord to
give us true sorrow for our sins. May this
time of prayer, penance, and fasting help
us repent and seek God's forgiveness.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Transfiguration
Peter exclaimed to the transfigured Christ
that it is good to be with Jesus. In his
exclamation, he expressed his desire to
remain with Jesus in that moment. Let us
pray for the same grace now, to remain
with Jesus in prayer so that we might
know Him all the better.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
Institution of the Eucharist
Public celebration of the Eucharist has been suspended
throughout the world. The Faithful are unable to receive the
Eucharist -Christ's very body, blood, soul, and divinity. As
Jesus instituted the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, he gave His
body to the disciples to eat and commanded them to do this
in memory of Him. Let us pray for our priests, who celebrate
the Eucharist, continuing Christ's mandate, but do so alone
without a congregation. And let us pray for all the faithful,
that this time in which we make spiritual communions, may
deepen our appreciation for the Eucharist, so we no longer
will take Christ's gift for granted.
O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of
hell, and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those in
most need of Your Mercy.
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 our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn them, most gracious advocate, thine eyes
