Praying the Rosary

with the Luminous Mysteries

Thursdays

St. John Paul II said, “In [the luminous] mysteries, apart from the miracle at Cana, the presence of Mary remains in the background… Yet the role she assumed at Cana accompanies Christ throughout His ministry. The revelation made directly by the Father at the Baptism in the Jordan and echoed by John the Baptist is placed upon Mary’s lips at Cana, at it becomes the great maternal counsel which Mary addresses to the Church of every age: ‘Do whatever he tells you.’”

In the name of the Father,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

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;
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 shall 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.

For the intentions of the Holy 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.

Hail Mary,

and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servers, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’”

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.

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,
we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
