HOLY ROSARY – Joyful Mysteries – Monday and Saturday
SIGN OF THE CROSS
By the sign of the Holy Cross,
from our enemies deliver us, O Lord, our God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
So that our prayer may be pleasing to God, let us purify our hearts by repenting of our sins. Let us all pray together the Act of Contrition.
APOSTLES’ 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.
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
and I detest all my sins
because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell,
but most of all because they offend You, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to sin no more,
to confess my sins,
to do penance,
and to amend my life.
Amen.
Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary
First Mystery
The Incarnation of the Son of God.
The angel said to her: Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. You will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.

Second Mystery
The Visitation of Our Lady to Saint Elizabeth.
In those days, Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town of Judah. She entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And it happened that, when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped for joy in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Crying out with a loud voice, she said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

In that same region there were some shepherds, and the Angel of the Lord appeared to them and said: Do not be afraid, for I bring you news of great joy: a Saviour has been born for you.

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His mother: This child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign of contradiction; and a sword will pierce your own soul too, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

The Loss of the Child Jesus and His Finding in the Temple.
His parents went every year to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover. They went up as usual to the feast, and when the days were over and they were returning, the Child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, without His parents knowing it.
They returned to Jerusalem in search of Him. After three days, they found Him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; and all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.
