Saturday,
the LUMINOUS on Thursday, the SORROWFUL on Tuesday and Friday, and the GLORIOUS on Wednesday and
Sunday (with this exception; Sundays of Advent and Christmas – the JOYFUL; Sundays of Lent – the SORROWFUL).

The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

The Apostles' Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and 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 arose again; He ascended into heaven, and sit
at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the
Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and
life everlasting. Amen

The Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of
thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Glory Be to the Father: 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.

The Fatima Prayer: "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".
(Our Lady at Fatima, 13th July 1917)

The Hail, Holy Queen: Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! 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, then,
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.

Let Us Pray
"O God whose only begotten Son by His Life has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, Grant that we beseech Thee
while meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may both imitate what
they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord Amen."

Fatima prayer #2
"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I beg pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do
not hope, and do not love You." (The Angel to three children of Fatima, spring 1916)

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or
sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and
sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
For the intentions of the Holy Father, one may recite at the end of the Rosary one "Our Father", one "Hail Mary", and one "Glory
Be".
