LIVING ROSARY (Montfortian Way) October 28, 2015 Opening Prayer We unite with all the saints in heaven, with all the just on earth, and with all the faithful here present. We unite with you, my Jesus, in order to praise you in her and through her. We renounce all distractions which may arise during this Rosary. We desire to say it with attention and devotion as if it were the last of my life. Amen.

GLORIOUS MYSTERY 1ST MYSTERY: THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS From the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew (Mt. 28:1-7) “After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then tell quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” (Moment of Silence…)

We offer You, Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of your glorious Resurrection. Through this mystery and the intercession of your Mother, we ask for love of God and fervor in your service. Amen.

2ND MYSTERY: THE ASCENCION OF JESUS From the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke (Luke 24:50-53) “Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing God.” (Moment of Silence…) We offer you, Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of your triumphant Ascension. Through this mystery and the intercession of your Mother, we ask for an ardent desire for heaven, our true home. Amen. 3RD MYSTERY: THE PENTECOST From the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1-4) “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.” (Moment of Silence…) We offer you, Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of the mystery of Pentecost. Through this mystery and the intercession your Mother, we ask that the Holy Spirit may come into our souls. Amen.

4TH MYSTERY: THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY

From the Canticles of Canticles (2:10-13) For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land: The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come" Pope Pius XII defined the dogma of Mary’s bodily assumption into heaven. The Catholic Church teaches that “when the course of her earthly life was finished” Mary “was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory.” Although the formal definition was not made until 1950, the belief in Mary’s Assumption dates back to the apostolic age. (Moment of Silence…) We offer you, Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of the Assumption of your Mother into heaven. Through this mystery and her intercession, we ask for a tender devotion to such a good mother. Amen.

5TH MYSTERY: THE CORONATION OF MARY From the Book of Revelation (Rev. 12:1) “A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Moment of Silence…) We offer you, Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of the Coronation of your Mother. Through this mystery and her intercession, we ask for perseverance in grace and the crown of glory. Amen.
