Praying the Rosary: The Essence of Christian Mysticism
|
|
|
|
Some time ago, I promised to send my complete list of Rosaries.
|
|
Previously, I sent out about 1/3 of the different kinds of Rosaries
|
|
I've collected. Here is the complete list. It is a _long_ file.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
Rosaries of All Kinds
|
|
|
|
Herein is a compilation of many different Rosaries of the Church.
|
|
I have collected as many different kinds of Rosaries as I have been
|
|
able to find. Certain Rosaries are listed without mysteries; this
|
|
simply means that the Rosary exists but I have unable to ascertain its
|
|
mysteries.

|
|
|
|
Beads for the Dead
|
|
|
|
Beads for the Dead. This rosary consists of four decades (40 beads)
|
|
in memory of the forty hours which Our Lord is thought to have spent
|
|
in Limbo. There are also the 5 introductory beads as on the Dominican
|
|
Rosary.
|
|
|
|
One begins and ends this chaplet with the De profundis or an Our
|
|
Father and Hail Mary. On the large beads is made acts of faith, hope,
|
|
and charity. On each small bead is said: "Sweet Heart of Mary, be my
|
|
salvation." Each decade is concluded with: "Eternal rest grant unto
|
|
them, etc."
|
|
|
|
Compilers note: I gather the complete final prayer is as follows:
|
|
|
|
V. Eternal rest grant unto him/her, O Lord.
|
|
R. And let perpetual light shine upon him/her.
|
|
|
|
V. May he/she rest in peace.
|
|
R. Amen.
|
|
|
|
V. May his/her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
|
|
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
|
|
R. Amen.
|
|
|
|
<All make the sign of the Cross>
|
|
|
|
May the love of God and the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ bless us
|
|
and console us and gently wipe every tear from our eyes: in the name
|
|
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
|
|
R. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Blessed Sacrament Beads
|
|
|
|
Blessed Sacrament Beads (Blessed Sacrament Fathers). These consist
|
|
of a medal of the Blessed Sacrament and 33 beads, recalling the 33
|
|
years of Christ's life on earth.
|
|
|
|
On the medal one makes a spiritual communion as follows: "As I
|
|
cannot now receive Thee, my Jesus, in Holy Communion, come,
|
|
spiritually into my heart, and make it Thine own forever."
|
|
|
|
On each bead say: "Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament have mercy on us!"
|
|

Approved May 30, 1911 by Pope Pius X (The Holy Father has granted to
|

the entire world 300 days indulgence each time the above prayer is
|

From the card that came with the Rosary.

On the back of the Spiritual Communion Medal is the following:

|
|
300 DAYS INDULGENCE
|
|
|
|
The Brigittine Rosary
|
|
|
|
The Brigittin Rosary (Brigittine Fathers). The Brigittine Rosary
|
|
consists of 6 decades of 10 beads each. There are 3 additional beads
|
|
at the end. Each decade consists of 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys. The
|
|
Apostle's Creed is said on the crucifix.
|
|
|
|
The 63 Hail Marys are in remembrance of the 63 years of Mary's
|
|
earthly life according to one traditional account. The 7 Our Fathers,
|
|
said on the large beads between each decade, are in remembrance of the
|
|
Seven Sorrows and Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin.
|
|
|
|
CHAPLET OF FAITH
|
|
|
|
On each decade of the rosary pray:
|
|
|
|
on large bead: One Apostles Creed --
|
|
on 10 small beads: Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls,
|
|
save the consecrated --
|
|
at the ends, 5 times: Hail Holy Queen.
|
|
|
|
Chotki
|
|
|
|
Eastern Orthodox rosary. This Oriental form of rosary is known in
|
|
the Hellenic Greek Church as Chaplet or String of Knots of Beads, in
|
|
the Russian Church as Vervitza (string), chotki (chaplet), or
|
|
liestovka (ladder), and the the Rumanian Church as matanie
|
|
(reverence). Our everyday name of "beads" for it is simply the Old
|
|
Saxon word "bede" (a prayer) which has been transferred to the
|
|
instrument used in reciting the prayer, while the word rosary is an
|
|
equally modern term.
|
|
|
|
The Rosary prayed by the Eastern Orthodox is a string of 33, 100, or
|
|
300 beads on a string or knots made of wool; they are not divided into
|
|
decades. On each bead or knot is prayed the following mantra: "Lord
|
|
Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner." The
|
|
modern Chotki, as it is known, calls for a slightly different mantra:
|
|
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." Having
|
|
prayed both versions, I can attest that the latter is easier. Both this
|
|
mantra and the Glorious mantra above are derived from the Gospel story
|
|
of the Pharisee and the tax collector. (The Hail Mary, of course,
|
|
comes from the Angelic Salutation coupled with a later additional
|
|
prayer.) That's about all I know about the Eastern Orthodox Rosary.
|
|
|
|
I've learned from some sources that lay Orthodox do not pray the
|
|
Rosary or Chotki but that it is pretty much exclusively in the domain
|
|
of monastics. However, from other sources I have learned that the
|
|
Chotki is quite popular among the laity. I believe, therefore, that
|
|
it may depend upon the Eastern denomination. For what it's worth, I
|
|
obtained my Chotki from Eastern Christian Supply through a
|
|
Byzantine Church.
|
|
|
|
Corona of Mercy
|
|
|
|
(For private recitation upon the Rosary beads)
|
|
|
|
Our Father....Hail Mary....Creed
|
|
|
|
On the large beads:
|
|
|
|
"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
|
|
of Thy Most Beloved Son and Our Lord Jesus Christ in atonement for our
|
|
sins and the sins of the whole world."
|
|
|
|
On the small beads:
|
|
|
|
"Through the sorrowful passion of Jesus show mercy unto us and to all
|
|
the world." (ten times)
|
|
|
|
(The same is repeated for every decade of the Rosary and is to be
|
|
joined with meditation on the mystery of each individual decade.) In
|
|
conclusion add: "Holy God, Holy Omnipotent, Holy Immortal, have mercy
|
|
on us." (3 times)
|
|
|
|
Crosier Beads
|
|
|
|
Crosier Beads (Crosier Fathers). This is the same as the ordinary 5
|
|
decade Dominican Rosary. It is merely a question of the indulgences
|
|
attached to the beads.
|
|
|
|
On August 20th, 1516, Pope Leo X granted to all the faithful an
|
|
indulgence of 500 days for every Our Father or Hail mary said with
|
|
devotion on the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary blessed by the
|
|
General of the Crosier Fathers. This was extended later to all
|
|
priests applying to the Congregation of Indulgences by Pope Pius X.
|
|
|
|
Any Catholic possessing a rosary having this indulgence can gain the
|
|
indulgence by reciting an Our Father or Hail Mary. No prayer imposed
|
|
as a confessional penance, however, can gain the indulgence of the
|
|
Crosier blessing.
|
|
|
|
There is no obligation to meditate on the mysteries of the Passion.
|
|
|
|
The Rosary must be held in the hand to gain the indulgence.
|
|
|
|
The indulgence is applicable to the Souls in Purgatory.
|
|
|
|
The Crown of Our Lord
|
|
|
|
(Camaldolese)
|
|
|
|
The Crown of Our Lord consists of 33 beads -- 3 decades and 3
|
|
additional beads commemorating the 33 years of the earthly life of Our
|
|
Lord. There are two methods of reciting this crown. The first method
|
|
is as follows: Having made the sign of the cross say: "O God incline
|
|
unto my aid; O Lord make haste to help me." The mystery is then
|
|
announced, e.g., "Jesus, Who sweat blood for us, etc." Then follow
|
|
1 Hail Mary, 10 Our Fathers, and 1 Glory Be. These are all to be
|
|
repeated 3 times. Then add 1 Hail Mary, 3 Our Fathers, and another
|
|
Hail Mary. The 5 Hail Marys are to commemorate the Five Holy Wounds.
|
|
|
|
The second method consists of meditating on an event from the life or
|
|
passion of Our Lord while saying the prescribed Our Father or Hail
|
|
Mary.
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of the Divine Mercy
|
|
|
|
(for private recitation on ordinary rosary beads)
|
|
|
|
Begin with:
|
|
|
|
Our Father...., Hail Mary...., Apostles Creed.
|
|
|
|
Then, on the OUR FATHER BEADS, pray:
|
|
|
|
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and
|
|
Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ,
|
|
in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
|
|
|
|
On the HAIL MARY BEADS, pray:
|
|
|
|
For the sake of his sorrowful Passion have mercy on us
|
|
and on the whole world.
|
|
|
|
In conclusion, THREE TIMES, pray:
|
|
|
|
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
|
|
and on the whole world.
|
|
|

(From the Diary of the Servant of God Sr. Faustina -- Note Book I,
|
|
page 197.)
|
|
|
|
An inner voice taught Sister M. Faustina Kowalska of the Congregation
|
|
of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy (the Apostle of Divine Mercy and
|
|
the Servant of God) the above chaplet rosary. Jesus later said to
|
|
Sister Faustina: "Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught
|
|
you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of
|
|
death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even
|
|
the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will
|
|
receive grace from My infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know
|
|
My infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who
|
|
trust in My Mercy."

Chaplet of the Five Wounds of God
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of the Five Wounds of God (Passionist). This chaplet
|
|
consists of 5 groups of 5 beads each. For each bead, pray one Glory
|
|
Be and one Hail Mary for the Sorrowful Virgin. As one prays each
|
|
group, one meditates on the Wounds of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus
|
|
Christ. Variation: Invocations in honor of the Holy Wounds of Our
|
|
Lord Jesus Christ. On the large beads pray: "Eternal Father, I offer
|
|
Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our
|
|
souls. Amen." One the small beads pray: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy
|
|
through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds. Amen."
|
|
|
|
Medals are usually attached to the beads or 3 beads are added at the
|
|
beginning of the chaplet. These medals display the Wounds of Christ
|
|
on one side and Our Lady of Sorrows on the other. The medals are not
|
|
necessary either for blessing or for obtaining the indulgences. The
|
|
medals are ordinarily arranged so that one meditates first on the
|
|
Wound in the left foot of Our Lord, then the Wound in the right foot,
|
|
the left hand, the right hand, and finally the Wound in the sacred
|
|
side of Jesus.
|
|
|
|
The earliest mention of the Rosary of the Five Wounds of God is found
|
|
in a document dating back to 1821. The Platea of Saints John and
|
|
Paul, at Rome, relates "The Most Rev. Fr. General, acting in
|
|
accordance with our spirit to promote devotion to the Passion of Our
|
|
Lord, obtained permission to bless the Chaplet of the Five Wounds, at
|
|
the same time enriching it with indulgences." This chaplet was first
|
|
approved by a decree of Pius VII dated Jan. 22, 1822.

To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.

To you do we send up our sighs,

mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Turn then, O most gracious advocate,

your eyes of mercy upon us;

show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Chaplet or Beads of the Seven Dolours (Card)
|
|
|
|
This is a devotion instituted in the course of the thirteenth
|
|
century, in honor of the sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, endured
|
|
by her in compassion for the suffering and death of her Divine Son.
|
|
It is practiced upon a Chaplet composed of seven times seven beads,
|
|
each portion of seven being divided from the rest by medals,
|
|
representing the seven principal sorrows of her life. In the use of
|
|
it a Hail, Mary has to be said on each of the beads, with one Our
|
|
Father before every seven Hail, Marys; and at the end of all, three
|
|
Hail, Marys are to be said, in honor of the sorrowful tears of our
|
|
Lady.
|
|
|
|
While reciting the first Our Father, and seven Hail Marys, reflect on
|
|
and sympathize in the sorrow of our Blessed Lady, when she presented
|
|
her Divine Child in the Temple, and heard from the aged Simeon that a
|
|
sword of grief should pierce her soul on His account.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
At the second medal, reflect on her sorrow when, to escape the
|
|
cruelty of King Herod, she was forced to fly into Egypt with St.
|
|
Joseph and her beloved Child.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
At the third medal, reflect on her grief, when, in returning from
|
|
Jerusalem she perceived that she had lost her dear Jesus, whom she
|
|
sought sorrowing during three days.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
At the fourth, reflect on her meeting her Divine Son, all bruised and
|
|
mangled, carrying His cross to Calvary, and seeing Him fall under His
|
|
heavy weight.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
At the fifth, reflect on her standing by when her Divine Son was
|
|
lifted up on the cross, and the blood flowed in streams from His
|
|
sacred wounds.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
At the sixth, reflect on her sorrow, when her Divine Son was taken
|
|
down from the cross, and she received Him into her arms.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
Seventhly, and lastly, contemplate her following His sacred body, as
|
|
it was borne by Joseph of Arimathea, and Nicodemus, to the sepulchre,
|
|
inclosed there, and hidden from her sight.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, seven Hail, Marys.
|
|
|
|
Three Hail, Marys, as mentioned before, in honor of her tears.
|
|
|
|

Rosary of Good Saint Anne
|
|
|
|
A Redemptorist devotion. The Chaplet of Good Saint Anne originates
|
|
in 1875 and is the pious invention of a devout client of our saint.
|
|
If his name is unknown to man, he is surely known to God and dear to
|
|
Good Saint Anne, for these beads have been the beginning of a chain of
|
|
blessings, spiritual and temporal. Many graces and favors have been
|
|
obtained through their recitation.
|
|
|
|
The Little Chaplet of Good Saint Anne is composed of three Our
|
|
Fathers and fifteen Hail Marys and is divided into three parts; the
|
|
first part, one Our Father and five Haily Marys, is said in honor of
|
|
Jesus, the Author of Grace; the second in honor of Mary, the channel
|
|
through which all graces come to us from Jesus; the third in honor of
|
|
Good Saint Anne, our advocate.
|
|
|
|
Manner of reciting: Make the sign of the cross; then kiss devoutly
|
|
the medal of Good Saint Anne saying the prayer: Jesus, Mary, Anne.
|
|
While reciting the first part thank Jesus for His favors, ask pardon
|
|
for sins and future favors. While reciting the second part praise
|
|
Mary and ask her to present your petition to Good Saint Anne. The
|
|
third part is a petition to Good Saint Anne. Each group is concluded
|
|
with a Glory Be as an act of praise to the Blessed Trinity.

A Rosary for the Sick
|
|
|
|
(Joanne Turpin)

|
|

|
|

|
|
|

The Fourth Mystery:
|
|
|

The Fifth Mystery:

|
|
|
|
The Little Chaplet of the Holy Face
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the Crown or Chaplet of the Holy Face is to honor the
|
|
Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to ask of God the triumph of
|
|
His holy Church.
|
|
|
|
This chaplet is composed of a cross and thirty-nine beads; of these
|
|
six are large beads and thirty-three small ones; to this chaplet is
|
|
attached a medal of the Holy Face.
|
|
|
|
On the Cross, which reminds us of the mystery of our redemption, we
|
|
begin the chaplet by saying the words: "Incline unto my aid, O God; O
|
|
Lord make haste to help me. Glory be."
|
|
|
|
The thirty-three small beads represent the thirty-three years of the
|
|
mortal life of our Divine Lord. The first thrity beads recall to us
|
|
the thirty years of His hidden life, and are divided into five parts
|
|
of six beads each, in honor of the senses of touch, hearing, sight,
|
|
smell, and taste of Jesus, and, as they were situated princippaly in
|
|
His holy face, to render reparative homage for all the sufferings
|
|
which our Lord has endured in His Face through each of these senses.
|
|
|
|
Each six beads are preceded by a a large bead, followed by a Glory be
|
|
to recall the sense we wish to honor. The three other beads mark the
|
|
three years of the public life of Our Lord, and have for their
|
|
intention to honor all the wounds of His adorable Face; there are also
|
|
preceded by a large bead, to be followed by a Glory be for the same
|
|
intention.
|
|
|
|
On each large bead is said: "My Jesus Mercy." On the small beads is
|
|
said: "Arise, O Lord! and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let them
|
|
that hate Thee fly before Thy Face."
|
|
|
|
The Glory be is recited seven times in honor of the seven last words
|
|
of Jesus upon the cross, and the Seven Dolours of the Immaculate
|
|
Virgin.
|
|
|
|
The chaplet is concluded by saying on the medal: "God, our
|
|
Protector, look down upon us and cast Thine eyes upon the Face of Thy
|
|
Christ."
|
|
|
|
This chaplet was composed by Sister Saint-Pierre, a Carmelite of
|
|
Tours. Saint Athanasius relates that the devils, on being asked what
|
|
verse in the whole Scripture they feared the most, replied: "That
|
|
with which the sixty-seventh Psalm commences: 'Let God arise, and let
|
|
His enemies be scattered let them that hate Him flee from before His
|
|
face.'" They added that this always compelled them to take flight.
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of the Holy Ghost (card)
|
|
|
|
The Chaplet of the Holy Ghost was composed in 1892 by a Franciscan
|
|
Capuchin missionary of the English province in order to give the
|
|
faithful an easy means of honoring the Holy Ghost. It was approved by
|
|
Pope Leo XIII in 1902. It is intended to be in regard to the Holy
|
|
Ghost what the Dominican Rosary is in regard to the Blessed Virgin.
|
|
|
|
This rosary consists of 5 groups of 7 beads each. Before and after
|
|
each group there are 2 large beads, that is, 12 large beads in all.
|
|
In addition there are 3 small beads at the beginning. On these three
|
|
beads one makes the sign of the Cross, recites an act of contrition
|
|
and the hymn Come Holy Ghost.
|
|
|
|
In each group the Glory be is said on the 7 small beads, an Our
|
|
Father and a Haily Mary on the 2 large beads. On the remaining 2
|
|
large beads are said the Apostles Creed and an Our Father and Hail
|
|
Mary for the intention of the Holy Father.
|
|
|
|
There is a mystery for each of the 5 groups; the number 5
|
|
commemorating the Five Wounds of Jesus which are the fountains of
|
|
grace which the Holy Ghost imparts to all men. The reflections
|
|
suggested are as follows:
|
|
|
|
THE FIRST MYSTERY
|
|
|
|
By the Holy Ghost is Jesus conceived of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
|
|
|
|
The Meditation: "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power
|
|
of the Most High shall overshadow thee; and therefore also the Holy
|
|
which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
|
|
(Luke, I, 35)
|
|
|
|
The Practice: Diligently implore the aid of the Divine Spirit, and
|
|
Mary's intercession, to imitate the virtues of Jesus Christ, Who is
|
|
the Model of virtues, so that you may be made comformable to the image
|
|
of the Son of God.
|
|
|
|
THE SECOND MYSTERY
|
|
|
|
The Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jesus when he was baptized.
|
|
|
|
The Meditation: "Jesus, being baptized, forthwith came out of the
|
|
water: and lo! the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit
|
|
of God descending as a dove, and coming upon Him." (Matthew, III, 16)
|
|
|
|
The Practice: Hold in the highest esteem the priceless gift of
|
|
sanctifying grace, infused into your soul by the Holy Ghost in
|
|
Baptism. Keep the promises to which you then pledged yourself.
|
|
Increase, by constant practice, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Ever live
|
|
as becometh children of God and members of God's true Church, so as to
|
|
obtain, hereafter, the inheritance of heaven.
|
|
|
|
THE THIRD MYSTERY
|
|
|
|
By the Spirit is Jesus led into the desert to be
|
|
tempted by the Devil.
|
|
|
|
The Meditation: "Jesus, being full of the Holy ghost, returned from
|
|
the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert for the space of
|
|
forty days; and was tempted by the devil." (Luke, IV, 1-2)
|
|
|
|
The Practice: Be ever grateful for the sevenfold gift of the Holy
|
|
Ghost bestowed upon you in Confirmation, for the spirit of wisdom and
|
|
understanding, of counsel and fortitude, of knowledge and piety, and
|
|
of the fear of the Lord. Faithfully yield to His Divine guidance, so
|
|
that, in all the trials and temptations of life, you may act manfully,
|
|
as becometh a perfect Christian and valiant soldier of Jesus Christ.
|
|
|
|
THE FOURTH MYSTERY
|
|
|
|
The Holy Ghost in the Church.
|
|
|
|
The Meditation: "Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a
|
|
mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house wehre they were
|
|
sitting....and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
|
|
speak....the wonderful works of God." (Acts, II, 2, 4, 11.)
|
|
|
|
The Practice: Thank God for having made you a child of His Church
|
|
which is ever animated and directed by the Divine Spirit, sent into
|
|
this world for that purpose of the day of Pentecost. Hear and obey
|
|
the Holy See, the infallible mouthpiece of the Holy Ghost, and the
|
|
Church, the pillar and ground of truth. Uphold her doctrines, seek
|
|
her interests, defend her rights.
|
|
|
|
THE FIFTH MYSTERY
|
|
|
|
The Holy Ghost in the soul of the just man and just woman.
|
|
|
|
The Meditation: "Know you not that you members are the temple of the
|
|
Holy Ghost, Who is in you?" (I Cor., VI, 19.)
|
|
|
|
"Extinguish not the Spirit." (I Thess., V, 19.)
|
|
|
|
"And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you are sealed unto
|
|
the day of redemption." (Eph., IV, 30.)
|
|
|
|
The Practice: Be evver mindful of the Holy Ghost Who is within you,
|
|
and carefully cultivate purity of soul and body. Faithfully obey His
|
|
Divine Inspirations so taht you may bring forth the Fruits of the
|
|
Spirit -- Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Eenignity, Goodness,
|
|
Long-suffering, Mildness, Faith, Modesty, Continency, Chastity.
|
|
|
|
Conclude with the "I believe" as a profession of faith.
|
|
|
|
Say finally once Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father,
|
|
for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff.
|
|
|
|
Rosary of the Holy Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of Mercy
|
|
|
|
May be said on the Rosary beads.
|
|
|
|
On the large beads: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the WOUNDS of
|
|
Our Lord Jesus Christ -- To heal the wounds
|
|
of our souls.
|
|
(300 days indulgence each time)
|
|
|
|
On the small beads: My Jesus, pardon and mercy -- Through the merits
|
|
of Thy HOLY WOUNDS.
|
|
(300 days indulgence each time)
|
|
|
|
Sacred Penetentiary, January 15, 1924.
|
|
|
|
These two invocations were taught by Our Lord to Sr. Mary Martha
|
|
Chambon, deceased, in the Vistation of Chambery, France, Marcy 21,
|
|
1907. The Sister received from Our Lord a double "Mission":
|
|
constantly to invoke the HOLY WOUNDS herself, and to revive this
|
|
devotion in the world.
|
|
|
|
Promises of Our Lord to Sr. Mary Martha
|
|
|
|
"I will grant all that is asked of Me by the invocation of My HOLY
|
|
WOUNDS. You must spread the devotion."
|
|
|
|
Rosary of the Immaculate Conception
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 3 groups of 4 beads each. An Our Father
|
|
bead is placed between each group and a medal of the Immaculate
|
|
Conception is attached on the end of the Rosary. Saint John
|
|
Berchmans, S.J., composed this Rosary and prayed it daily to obtain,
|
|
through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the grace never
|
|
to commit any sin against the virtue of purity. Beads are pale blue
|
|
for the Immaculate Conception.
|
|
|
|
This is how to pray the Rosary of the Immaculate Conception:
|
|
|
|
Begin with the Sign of the Cross: In the Name of the Father, and of
|
|
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
|
|
Amen.
|
|
|
|
Pray the Our Father
|
|
|
|
Next pray the following: Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate
|
|
(4 times on 4 beads) Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.
|
|
|
|
Pray the Glory Be after each set. Pray all three sets.
|
|
|
|
If you wish, you may conclude by praying the Consecration to Mary by
|
|
Saint John Berchmans, S.J.:
|
|
|
|
Holy Mary, Mother of God and Virgin, I choose you this day for my
|
|
Queen, patron, and advocate, and I firmly resolve: never to abandon
|
|
you; never to say or do anything against you, nor to permit that
|
|
anything be done by others to dishonor you. Receive me, then, I beg
|
|
of you, as your perpetual servant. Assist me in all my actions, and
|
|
do not abandon me at the hour of my death. Amen.

Chaplet in Honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
|
|
|
|
Our Lady of Sorrows
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 5 groups, each comprising 1 Our Father and
|
|
7 Hail Marys. One begins with the prayer: "Incline unto my aid,
|
|
O God; O Lord, make haste to help me."
|
|
|
|
Little Crown
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of the Infant Jesus of Prague
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 3 Our Fathers in honor of the Holy Family,
|
|
and 12 Hail Marys in memory of the 12 years of the Sacred Infancy of
|
|
our Divine Saviour. To this chaplet of 15 beads is attached a medal
|
|
of the Infant Jesus [of Prague].
|
|
|
|
On the medal the following invocation is said: "Divine Infant Jesus,
|
|
I adore Thy Cross and I accept all the cross Thou wilt be pleased to
|
|
send me. Adorable Trinity, I offer Thee for the glory of Thy Holy
|
|
Name of God, all the adorations of the Sacred Heart of the Holy Infant
|
|
Jesus."
|
|
|
|
Each Our Father and Hail Mary is preceded by the aspiration: "And
|
|
the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us." On terminating the
|
|
chaplet say: "Holy Infant Jesus, bless and protect us."
|
|
|
|
This devotion owers its origin to the zeal of Sister Marguerite, a
|
|
Carmelite religious, who died in France in 1648. She was
|
|
distinguished for her devotion to the Holy Child Jesus.
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of the Holy Infant Jesus (card)
|
|
|
|
The More You Honor Me
|
|
The More I Will Bless You
|
|
|
|
On the medal the following invocation is said:
|
|
|
|
"Divine Infant Jesus, I adore Thy Cross, and I accept all the crosses
|
|
Thou wilt be pleased to send me. Adorable Trinity, I offer Thee for
|
|
the glory of the Holy Name of God, all the adorations of the Sacred
|
|
Heart of the Holy Infant Jesus."
|
|
|
|
Each "Our Father" and "Hail Mary" is preceded by the aspiration:
|
|
|
|
"And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us."
|
|
|
|
On terminating the chaplet, say:
|
|
|
|
"Holy Infant Jesus, bless and protect us."
|
|
|
|
The Divine Infant revealed to His faithful servant how pleasing to
|
|
Him is this holy practice; He promised her that He would grant special
|
|
graces, above all purity of heart and innocence, to all who carried
|
|
the chaplet on their person and recited it in honor of the mysteries
|
|
of His holy infancy. As a sign of His approval, He showed her these
|
|
chaplets shining with a supernatural light.
|
|

THE JESUS PSALTER
|
|
|
|
This Psalter was composed probably by Richard Whytford, first a
|
|
Secular Priest, then a Brigittin of Syon House, Middlesex, in the
|
|
fifteenth century. An original MS. is in the possession of Lord
|
|
Abergavenny. Bishop Challoner's edition, which is here given, is a
|
|
compressed formulary, and the language is generally modernized.
|
|
|
|
There is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be
|
|
saved. ACTS iv, 12
|
|
|
|
The holy name is not to be repeated hastily, but with great reverence
|
|
and devotion.
|
|
|
|
PART I
|
|
|
|
You must begin by a devout kneeling, or bowing, at the adorable name
|
|
of JESUS, saying:
|
|
|
|
In the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in
|
|
heaven, on earth, and under the earth: and ... every tongue confess,
|
|
that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

|
|
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, }
|
|
|
|
Jesus, have mercy on me, O God of compassion, and forgive the many and
|
|
great offences which I have committed in thy sight. Many have been
|
|
the follies of my life, and great are the miseries which I have
|
|
deserved for my ingratitude.
|
|
|
|
Have mercy on me, dear Jesus, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, who am
|
|
unable to help myself.
|
|
|
|
Deliver me from setting my heart upon any of thy creatures, which may
|
|
divert my eyes from a continual looking-up to thee.
|
|
|
|
Grant me grace henceforth, for the love of thee, to hate sin; and, out
|
|
of a just esteem of thee, to despise all worldly vanities.
|
|
|
|
Have mercy on all sinners, Jesus, I beseech thee; turn their vices
|
|
into virtues; and, making them true observers of thy law, and sincere
|
|
lovers of thee, bring them to bliss in everlasting glory.
|
|
|
|
Have mercy also on the souls in purgatory, for thy bitter Passion, I
|
|
beseech thee, and for thy glorious name Jesus.
|
|
|
|
O blessed Trinity, one eternal God, have mercy on me.
|
|
|
|
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
|
|
come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
|
|
|
|
Rx Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses
|
|
as well forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into
|
|
temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou
|
|
among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
|
|
Rx Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour
|
|
of our death. Amen.

|
from the depth of my heart and humbly request assistance. Help me in
|
|
my present and urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your
|
|
name known and cause you to be invoked.

Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin
|
|
|
|
The following is quoted from the appendix to "True Devotion to the
|
|
Blessed Virgin" by Saint Louis de Montfort. This Rosary appears to be
|
|
basically the same as the Rosary of the Immaculate Conception but I
|
|
include it here as found in Louis's book because the recitation of the
|
|
prayers is slightly different and, while the purity of the Virgin is
|
|
invoked, there is no actual mention of the "Immaculate Conception,"
|
|
which I don't think had yet been defined.
|
|
|
|
BEGIN QUOTATION
|
|
|
|
St. John the Evangelist saw a woman crowned with twelve stars,
|
|
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet. According to the
|
|
commentators, this woman is the Blessed Virgin Mary, with her virtues
|
|
and her privileges, especially that of her divine maternity. Thus
|
|
originated the "Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin
|
|
Mary," which St. Joseph Calasanctius, St. John Berchmans and many
|
|
other saints made it a practice to recite frequently.
|
|
|
|
In order to make this prayer more attractive, St. Louis de Montfort
|
|
added to each Hail Mary one of the praises of the Blessed Virgin, with
|
|
the invocation, "Rejoice, O Virgin mary; rejoice a thousand times."
|
|
|
|
It is this prayer which Louis de Montfort gave to his religious
|
|
families (the Montfort Fathers and the Daughters of Wisdom) as their
|
|
morning prayer. He also recommends it to all those who embrace the
|
|
devotion of the holy and loving salvery of Jesus through Mary.
|
|
|
|
LITTLE CROWN OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
|
|
|
|
I. Crown of Excellence

|
|
Most Holy Trinity; Hail, Mary, my Mistress, my treasure, my joy, Queen
|
|
of my heart; my Mother, my life, my sweetness, my dearest hope, yea, my
|
|
heart and my soul! I am all thine and all that I have is thine, O
|
|
Virgin blessed above all things! Let thy soul be in me to magnify the
|
|
Lord; let thy spirit be in me to rejoice in God. Set thyself, O
|
|
faithful Virgin, as a seal upon my heart, that in thee and through
|
|
thee I may be found faithful to God. Receive me, O gracious Virgin,
|
|
among those whom thou lovest and teachest, whom thou leadest,
|
|
nourishest and protectest as thy children. Grant that for love of
|
|
thee I may despise all earthly consolations and ever cling to those of
|
|
heaven; until through the Holy Ghost, thy faithful Spouse, and through
|
|
thee, His faithful spouse, Jesus Christ thy Son be formed in me for
|
|
the glory of the Father. Amen.

Little Flower Rosary
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 24 beads, commemorating the 24 years of
|
|
Saint Therese's life, and one additional bead. On the one bead the
|
|
following ejaculation is said: "Saint Therese of the Infant Jesus,
|
|
Patroness of Missions, pray for us." On the other 24 beads is said
|
|
the Glory be to honor the Holy Trinity in thanksgiving for having
|
|
given us the Little Saint who lived in this world but 24 years.
|
|
|
|
The use of this chaplet is encouraged by the Carmelite Fathers.
|
|
|
|
Rosary or Little Beads of Our Lady of Consolation
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 13 beads with a medal of Saint Augustine.
|
|
On each bead is said an Our Father and a Hail Mary, and at the end the
|
|
Hail, Holy Queen is recited. The 12 Our Fathers and Hail Marys are in
|
|
honor of the 12 Apostles; the other Our Father and Hail Mary are in
|
|
honor of Our Lord, King of the Apostles.
|
|
|
|
While reciting these prayers one should meditate on the 12 articles
|
|
of the Apostles' Creed and pray for the safety of the Holy Father, the
|
|
Pope and the welfare of the Church.
|
|
|
|
This chaplet is designated especially for the Augustinian secular
|
|
tertiaries.

Penal Rosary
|
|
|
|
Sorry to get your hopes up for nothing. A Penal Rosary (I don't know
|
|
where the name comes from) consists of a single decade (i.e. one large
|
|
bead, ten small beads) with a ring at one end. You slip the ring over
|
|
your thumb, and pray the first decade of a normal (Dominican) Rosary.
|
|
Then you move the ring to your index finger, and pray the second decade.
|
|
And so on. Not really a new Rosary -- just a more compact version
|
|
of the old one.
|
|
|
|
Hello! I am an enforced lurker on soc.religion.christian (UVA
|
|
doesn't allow us to post, only to read). I saw your post about
|
|
the Lutheran Rosary. While I don't have any information about
|
|
this one specifically, I do have a very, *very* good book on the
|
|
rosary in general (I was surprised to find out how many different
|
|
kinds there are.) The book is a thin little gem called A DOORWAY
|
|
TO SILENCE by David (??) Llewelyn (sp?). I got it from the Holy
|
|
Rosary Apostolate in Canada. I don't have the address on me, but
|
|
if you are interested, I will try to find the info. for you. The
|
|
book has a few pages of into concerning what the rosary is and
|
|
what it is for, and the rest of the book is about the practice of
|
|
contemplative prayer, answers to difficulties one encounters when
|
|
attempting same, techniques to focus concentration, etc. It has
|
|
a very gentle, patient tone and pace, and I have found it to have
|
|
had the greatest influence on my prayer life of any devotional
|
|
material I have ever read, save the Bible itself.
|
|
|
|
In closing, I found this in another pamphlet on rosaries in
|
|
general, and it is now my standard prayer when I'm saying the
|
|
rosary. The prayers are taken from the Anglican Book of Common
|
|
Prayer, which is in turn largely taken from the Bible.

|
Crucifix: Nicene Creed
|
|
1st bead: Lord's Prayer
|
|
3 beads and decade beads:
|
|
Blessed be Christ Jesus, very God and very man,
|
|
Blessed be the holy Name of Jesus.
|
|
O Saviour of the world, who by thy cross and
|
|
precious blood hast redeemed us,
|
|
Save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.
|
|
2nd single bead: Gloria
|
|
Medallion: Lord's Prayer
|
|
Beads between decades: Gloria to end decade and Lord's
|
|
Prayer to begin new decade.
|
|
|
|
I haven't come up with a suitable prayer to end the rosary, so I
|
|
use something I found in a Lenten Study guide - don't know it's
|
|
history.
|
|
Jesus, may all that is you flow into me.
|
|
May your body and blood be my food and my drink.
|
|
May your passion and death be my strength and my life.
|
|
Jesus, with you by my side, enough has been given.
|
|
May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross.
|
|
Let me not run from the love which you offer,
|
|
But hold me safe from the forces of evil.
|
|
On each of my dyings, shed your light and your love.
|
|
Keep calling to me until that day comes,
|
|
When, with your saints, I may praise you forever. Amen.
|

|
|
|
(Precious Blood Fathers)
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 33 beads, in honor of the thirty-three years
|
|
of Our Lord's life on earth. There are 6 groups of 5 beads each, and
|
|
3 closing beads, and a medal of the Precious Blood. For each group
|
|
one says the Our Father 5 times and the Glory be 1 time. On the final
|
|
group of 3 beads one says the Our Father 3 times and the Glory be
|
|
1 time.
|
|
|
|
In the beginning say: "Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make
|
|
haste to help me. Glory be, etc.
|
|
|
|
There are 7 mysteries recalling the occasions on which Our Saviour
|
|
shed His Blood for us. After each group of 5 Our Fathers and 1 Glory
|
|
be, the following prayer is said: "We therefore pray Thee, help Thy
|
|
servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood."

Rosary of Saint Michael and All Angels
|
|
|
|
The Rosary of Saint Michael and All Angels is a lovely Rosary
|
|
consisting of nine sets of prayers; one Our Father and three Hail
|
|
Marys is prayed for each of the nine choirs of angels. The nine
|
|
choirs of angels are:
|
|
|
|
Cherubim Dominions Principalities
|
|
Seraphim Virtues Archangels
|
|
Thrones Powers Angels
|
|
|
|
One day, Saint Michael, Prince of Angels, appeared to a devout
|
|
servant of God named Antonia d' Astonac. The Arch-angel Michael said
|
|
to her, "I wish to be honored by nine salutations corresponding to the
|
|
nine Choirs of Angels, consisting of one Our Father and three Hail
|
|
Marys for each of the angelic choirs." Saint Michael went on to
|
|
promise that anyone who prayed this devotion in his honor would have,
|
|
when approaching the Holy Altar to receive the Eucharist, an escort of
|
|
nine angels chosen by himself from each of the nine choirs of angels.
|
|
In addition, he promised that anyone who recited this devotion daily
|
|
would be given during his life Prince Michael's own protection as well
|
|
as the continual assistance of all of God's holy angels. Furthermore,
|
|
after death, such a one will obtain for himself and his relations
|
|
deliverance from purgatory.
|
|
|
|
This is the method of reciting the chaplet:
|
|
|
|
The chaplet is begun by saying the following invocation on the
|
|
Powerful Medal (Saint Benedict's Medal):
|
|
|
|
O God, come to my assistance.
|
|
O Lord, make haste to help me.
|
|
Glory be, etc.
|
|
|
|
These are the nine salutations to be followed by one Our Father and
|
|
three Hail Marys:
|
|
|
|
Following the nine salutations, pray one Our Father in honor of each
|
|
of the following leading angels: Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, Saint
|
|
Raphael, and our Guardian Angel. Personally, I myself pray one Our
|
|
Father in honor of the following four angels: Saint Michael, Saint
|
|
Gabriel, Saint Uriel, and Saint Raphael; I requested that God make
|
|
Uriel and Raphael my guardian angels. On the Guardian Angel Medal I
|
|
say an additional Our Father for my personal Guardian Angel whose name
|
|
I do not know.
|
|
|
|
Prayer
|
|
|
|
Almighty and Everlasting God, who by a prodigy of goodness and a
|
|
merciful desire for the salvation of all men, hast appointed the most

worthy, we beseech Thee, to be delivered from all our enemies, that
|

Chaplet of Saint Anthony
|
|
|
|
Chaplet of Saint Anthony (Franciscan). The Chaplet of St. Anthony is
|
|
composed of thirteen groups (or decades) of three beads each, at the
|
|
end of which may be a medal of Saint Anthony holding the Infant Jesus.
|
|
On the first bead of each group (or decade) is said the Our Father, on
|
|
the second the Hail Mary, and on the third the Glory Be to the Father,
|
|
etc. At the end the Miraculous Responsory is recited:
|
|
|
|
If miracles thou fain wouldst see
|
|
Do, error, death, calamity,
|
|
The leprous stain, the demon flies,
|
|
From beds of pain the sick arise.
|
|
|
|
The hungry seas forego their prey,
|
|
The prisoner's cruel chains give way;
|
|
While palsied limbs and chattels lost,
|
|
Both young and old recovered boast.
|
|
|
|
And perils perish; plenty's hoard
|
|
Is heaped on hunger's famished board;
|
|
Let those relate who know it well,
|
|
Let Padua of her patron tell.
|
|
|
|
The hungry seas, etc.
|
|
Glory be to the Father, etc.
|
|
The hungry seas, etc.
|
|
|
|
V. Pray for us Blessed Anthony.
|
|
|
|
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
|
|
|
|
Let Us Pray
|
|
|
|
O God! Let the votive commemoration of Blessed Anthony, thy
|
|
Confessor, be a source of joy to thy Church, that she may always be
|
|
fortified with spiritual assistance, and may deserve to possess
|
|
eternal joy. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
|
|
|
|
During the prayers meditation on the following virtues of the saint
|
|
is recommended: Faith, Hope, Charity, Love of Jesus, Prudence,
|
|
Justice, Patience, Penance, Humility, Purity, Obedience, Poverty,
|
|
Spirit of Prayer, and Union with God.
|
|
|
|
An indulgence of one hundred days each time. A plenary indulgence,
|
|
once a month.
|
|
|
|

|
|
petitions while reciting thirteen times the Our Father, Hail Mary,

|
|
captivity of evil.
|

|

limbs, obtain for us the perfect use of the senses of our body

seeking. Obtain for me, also, an active faith, perfect docility to
|
|
the inspirations of grace, disgust for the vain pleasures of the
|
|
world, and an ardent desire for the imperishable goods of an
|
|
everlasting happiness. Amen.

that Thou hast no greater desire than to be among men, even assuming human
|
|
nature at the fullness of time for the love of men, recall all the
|
|
sufferings Thou hast endured from the instant of Thy conception, and
|
|
especially during Thy Passion, as it was decreed and ordained from all
|
|
eternity in the Divine plan.
|
|
|
|
Remember, oh Lord, that during the Last Supper with Thy disciples, having
|
|
washed their feet, Thou gavest them Thy Most Precious Body and Blood, and
|
|
while at the same time Thou didst weetly console them, Thou didst foretell
|
|
them Thy coming Passion.
|
|
|
|
Remember the sadness and bitterness which Thou didst experience in Thy Soul
|
|
as Thou Thyself bore witness saying: "My Soul is sorrowful even unto
|
|
death."
|
|
|
|
Remember all the fear, anguish and pain that Thou didst suffer in Thy
|
|
delicate Body before the torment of the Crucifixion, when, after having
|
|
prayed three times, bathed in a sweat of blood, Thou wast betrayed by Judas,
|
|
Thy disciple, arrested by the people of a nation Thou hadst chosen and
|
|
elevated, accused by false witnesses, unjustly judged by three judges during
|
|
the flower of Thy youth and during the solemn Paschal season.
|
|
|
|
Remember that Thou wast despoiled of Thy garments and clothed in those of
|
|
derision; that Thy Face and Eyes were veiled, that Thou wast buffeted,
|
|
crowned with throns, a reed placed in Thy Hands, that Thou was crushed with
|
|
blows and overwhelmed with affronts and outrages.
|
|
|
|
In memory of all these pains and sufferings which Thou didst endure before
|
|
Thy Passion on the Cross, grant me before my death true contrition, a
|
|
sincere and entire confession, worthy satisfaction and the remission of all
|
|
my sins. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Second Prayer
|
|
|
|
Oh Jesus! True liberty of angels, Paradise of delights, remember the horror
|
|
and sadness which Thou didst endure when Thy enemies, like furious lions,
|
|
surrounded Thee, and by thousands of insults, spits, blows, lacerations and
|
|
other unheard-of-cruelties, tormented Thee at will. In consideration of
|
|
these torments and insulting words, I beseech Thee, oh my Saviour, to
|
|
deliver me from all my enemies, visible and invisible, and to bring me,
|
|
under Thy protection, to the perfection of eternal salvation. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Third Prayer
|
|
|
|
Oh Jesus! Creator of Heaven and earth Whom nothing can encompass or limit,
|
|
Thou Who dost enfold and hold all under Thy Loving power, remember the very
|
|
bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet
|
|
to the Cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee
|
|
in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds,
|
|
and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on
|
|
the Cross, pulled You from all sides, thus dislocating Your Limbs.
|
|
|
|
I beg of Thee, oh Jesus, by the memory of this most Loving suffering of the
|
|
Cross, to grant me the grace to fear Thee and to Love Thee. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Fourth Prayer
|
|
|
|
Oh Jesus! Heavenly Physician, raised aloft on the Cross to heal our wounds
|
|
with Yours, remember the bruises which Thou didst suffer and the weakness of
|
|
all Thy Members which were distended to such a degree that never was there
|
|
pain like unto Thine. From the crown of Thy Head to the Soles of Thy Feet
|
|
there was not one spot on THy Body that was not in torment, and yet,
|
|
forgetting all Thy sufferings, Thou didst not cease to pray to Thy Heavenly
|
|
Father for Thy enemies, saying: "Father forgive them for they know not what
|
|
they do."
|
|
|
|
Through this great Mercy, and in memory of this suffering, grant that the
|
|
remembrance of Thy Most Bitter Passion may effect in us a perfect contrition
|
|
and the remission of all our sins. Amen.
|
|
|
|
Fifth Prayer
|
|
|
|
Oh Jesus! Mirror of eternal splendor, remember the sadness which Thou
|
|
experienced, when contemplating in the light of Thy Divinity the
|
|
predestination of those who would be saved by the merits of Thy Sacred
|
|
Passion, Thou didst see at the same time, the great multitude of reprobates
|
|
who would be damned for their sins, and Thou didst complain bitterly of
|
|
those hopeless lost and unfortunate sinners.

Seven-Day Scriptural Rosary
|
|
|
|
(Larry London)
|
|
|
|
The distinguishing feature of the Seven-Day Scriptural Rosary is that
|
|
there is a unique set of five rosary mysteries for each day of the
|
|
week. There are a total of three hundred fifty Scripture excerpts for
|
|
meditation. One is read before each Hail Mary over the course of the
|
|
week, fifty each day of the week. Five of the total thirty-five
|
|
rosary mysteries are prayed each day. Each mystery contains ten Hail
|
|
marys along with the corresponding Scripture meditation, and so we
|
|
have a Rosarium -- fifty Hail Marys -- prayed each day.
|
|
|
|
Below are listed the recommended mysteries for each day of the week:
|
|
|
|
Monday -- Joyful Mysteries Anunciation,
|
|
Visitation, Nativity,
|
|
Presentation, Finding
|
|
|
|
Tuesday -- Salvation Mysteries Jesus Teaches Nicodemus,
|
|
Good Shepherd, Rich Man,
|
|
Vine and Branches,
|
|
Judgement
|
|
|
|
Wednesday -- Healing Mysteries Healing of a Paralytic,
|
|
Woman with a Hemorrhage,
|
|
Man Born Blind, Adultress,
|
|

Chaplet of the Way of the Cross
|
|
|
|
This chaplet consists of 15 groups of 3 beads each, between which are
|
|
medals representing the stations of the cross. An additional 6 beads
|
|
are added as well as a crucifix.
|
|
|
|
This chaplet of the Way of the Cross was granted to Vincentian Order
|
|
by Popes Pius IX and X. Later it was withdrawn by the Holy Office
|
|
(1912), since the indulgences can be gained by using the crucifix
|
|
alone.
|
|
|
|
It is somewhat of a misnomer to call this a rosary. To the sick and
|
|
to others who cannot go to a church to make the Way of the Cross the
|
|
Holy See has given the privilege of gaining the indulgences attached
|
|
to the Way of the Cross by holding in their hand a specially
|
|
indulgenced crucifix and saying the prescribed prayers, the Our
|
|
Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be 20 times.
