said, "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your
womb."

Hail Mary...
His mercy is on all those who fear him in every generation, but mighty
is his arm as he scatters the proud in their conceit.

his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and
his descendants forever.
Hail Mary...

3. The Birth of the Lord
Our Father...
Having brought God's blessing to Elizabeth, Zachariah and John the
Baptist, Mary stayed about three months and took her leave.

had done for her, and how St Joseph would consider her pregnancy. But,
having faith, she proceeded.

 Upon learning of Mary's pregnancy, Joseph resolved to put her away,
but quietly because he was a good man.

afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the babe in her womb is conceived by
the Holy Spirit."

saves.

into his home.

While in Bethlehem, Mary's time came and she brought forth her
firstborn son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger,
because there was no room for them in the inn.
Hail Mary...
An angel of the Lord came to the shepherds who were watching their
flock at night and said to them, "Behold a saviour has been born to you in
the city of Bethlehem."

two young pigeons.
Hail Mary...
There was a devout old man called Simeon who was waiting for the
consolation of Israel.

He took him in his arms and blessed him. "Now Lord, you may let your
servant go in peace, for I have seen your salvation which you have
prepared in the presence of all peoples: a light of revelation to the gentiles
and glory to your people Israel."
Hail Mary...
He shall be a sign that will be contradicted and many will rise and fall in
Israel because of him.
Hail Mary...
As for you, a sword will pierce your soul, that the thoughts of many
hearts will be revealed.
Hail Mary...
Prophetess Anna who was a widow from her youth and spent time in the
temple praying and fasting, came and gave thanks to God and spoke about
the child to all who were waiting for the liberation of Jerusalem.

blessings were upon him.
Hail Mary...

his mother to Egypt, for Herod seeks to destroy the child."

have called my son."
Hail Mary...
Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...
5. Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple
Our Father...
Jesus, when you were twelve years old, you and your mother and your
father went up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover.
Hail Mary...
When the Passover feast was over, your father and mother started on
their way back home. Unknown to them you had stayed behind.
Hail Mary...
They had gone one day's journey before they realised you were not with
them, for they thought you were with relatives and friends. They went back
to Jerusalem, seeking you in great sorrow.
Hail Mary...
When they found you after three days, you were in the temple, listening
to the learned men and asking them questions. They were amazed at your
understanding and your answers.
Hail Mary...
 Son, why have you done this to us? Do you not know that your father
and I have been looking for you in great sorrow?
Hail Mary...
Why did you seek me? Did you not know I would be in my Father's
House?
Hail Mary...
And you returned with them and were subject to them and grew in age,
wisdom and grace before God and man.
Hail Mary...
Lord, you blessed family life, work life, business life, social life, church
life.
Hail Mary...
You were the High Priest of all time, yet you worked as a carpenter; you
were a business man — for you had to sell or barter the things you made;
you were a social man —attending weddings and funerals; you were a
churchman — attending the synagogue. You were true God and true man.
Hail Mary...
Your holy mother pondered all these things in her heart.
Hail Mary...

Glory be…
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...

SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
1. The agony in the garden
Our Father...
 You were at the wedding feast of Cana with your disciples when your
mother said to you, "They have no wine"
Hail Mary...
Woman, what does this concern of yours have to do with me? My hour
has not yet come.
Hail Mary...
You asked that the six large jars used for ritual washing be filled with
water. Then you II changed water into wine.
Hail Mary...
At the request of your mother you began your public ministry. You cured
us and healed us. You taught us by word and example. You established
your Church through your Apostles. You gave us your Body and Blood in
the Holy Eucharist.
Hail Mary...
In the garden of Gethsemane you told Peter, James and John ,”Watch
here and wait while I pray."
Hail Mary...
Going about a stone's throw away, you lay prostrate and prayed,
"Father, if it be your will, let this cup pass from me, but not my will but yours
be done."
Hail Mary...
Could you not watch one hour with me? The spirit is willing, but the flesh
is weak.
Hail Mary...
Judas, do you come to betray me with a kiss? ... 1 taught in the Temple
and you could have arrested me at any time but now you come to take me
like a thief in the night with clubs and swords.
Hail Mary...
 Put your sword away, Peter. Would you not have me drink the cup the
Father has given me? He who lives by the sword eventually dies by the
sword.
Hail Mary...
The soldiers seized you, Jesus. All your Apostles deserted you in fear
and ran away.
Hail Mary...

Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...
2. The Scourging
Our Father...
Jesus, they took you to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was
high priest that year.
Hail Mary...
He said, "Tell us about your disciples and your teachings." You replied,
"Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard me, for I taught openly."
Hail Mary...
The guard struck you, my Jesus. He said, "How dare you speak to the
high priest that way!" You said, "If I said evil, bring forth the evidence;
otherwise, why do you strike me?"
Hail Mary...
And they brought you to Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin and brought all
manner of false witnesses against you, but none would agree.
Hail Mary...
Finally, in despair they said to you, "We adjure you by the living God, tell
us whether you are the Son of the living God."
Hail Mary...
Your own lips have said it: I am, and from now on you will see the Son
of Man sitting at the right hand of the power.
Hail Mary...
And they tore their garments, saying, "He blasphemes; he must die."
The crowd chose to free Barabbas the criminal; about Jesus they shouted,
"Let him be crucified!"
Hail Mary...
Pilate asked you, "Are you the king of the Jews?" You replied, "You
have said it. As you say, I am a king. But my kingdom is not of this world."
Hail Mary...
Pilate asked, "Then you are a king?" You replied, "That is why I was
born and why I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Those who are
open to the truth hear my voice."
Hail Mary...
Pilate declared, "I find no guilt in this man; I will scourge him and let him
go." They tied you to a pillar and scourged you. By your stripes we are
healed. Lord, keep me and mine and all of us from sins of the flesh.
Hail Mary...

Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...

3. The crowning with thorns

Our Father...
Pilate sent you to Herod who was visiting Jerusalem. Though he knew
you were innocent, Pilate was afraid to release you because he was afraid
of the Jews.
Hail Mary...
Herod was eager to see you because he had heard about you and
wanted to see you perform some miracle.
Hail Mary...
Herod asked you many questions, but you gave no answer. The chief
priests and the teachers of law accused you; Herod and his soldiers treated
you with contempt.
Hail Mary...
Herod sent you, dressed in bright robes, back to Pilate. Pilate said,
"Behold the man." Jesus my Lord, you are true God and true man.
Hail Mary...
Pilate said, "Shall I release to you Barabbas or the king of the Jews?"
They preferred Barabbas. Does not the world today still not prefer
Barabbas?
Hail Mary...
Pilate said again, "But 1 find no guilt in him." They shouted, "His guilt be
upon us and on our children."
Hail Mary...
Pilate asked you, "Who are you? Why do you not answer me? Do you
not know, I have the power of life and death over you?" You replied, "You
would have no power over me unless it were given from above."
Hail Mary…
The Jews placed you in contraposition to Caesar, and Pilate gave you
over to them. They plaited a crown of sharp thorns and placed it on your
head.
Hail Mary…
They blindfolded you and struck you, saying, "Prophesy who hit you";
they spat on you and mocked you saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
Hail Mary...
 Jesus, my Lord, you are the king of heaven, yet you are crowned with
thorns by your subjects.
Hail Mary...

Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...

4. Carrying the Cross.

Our Father...
Lord Jesus, you carried your heavy cross to Calvary. You had said, "If
anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and
follow me."
Hail Mary...
You fell, my Lord, under the weight of the Cross. You had been
scourged and crowned with thorns, without food or drink or sleep. You were
exhausted.
Hail Mary...
You spent the rest of your time in prayer to the Father. You rose and
continued on your painful way.
Hail Mary...
You met your afflicted Mother. "Look at me, all you who pass by, and
see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow."
Hail Mary...
Lord, your loving Mother could not but suffer with you. Great was her
love, and great was her suffering.
Hail Mary...
They forced Simon of Cyrene, to help you carry your cross.
Hail Mary...
In the crowd that followed you, some women were weeping and wailing
for you. You said to them, "Do not weep for me but for yourselves and
your children."
Hail Mary…
The days are coming when people will say, "How lucky are the women
who never had children, who never bore babies, who never nursed them!"
Hail Mary…
That will be the time when people will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!"
and to the hills, "Hide us!" For if such things as these are done when the
wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?
Hail Mary…
My Jesus, you hung on the cross, between two criminals. But you
offered yourself as a pure, holy, virginal lamb of God in reparation for my
sins and the sins of the world.
Hail Mary…

Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...

5. The Crucifixion
Our Father...
When they came to the place called "The skull", they crucified you, my
Lord, with the two criminals. Then you said, "Father, forgive them! They do
not know what they are doing."
Hail Mary...
Woman, behold your son.
Hail Mary...
"Behold your Mother." Lord, your Mother received me, a sinner, and I
received the holy and immaculate one as my Mother.
Hail Mary...
The good thief said to you, "Lord, remember me when you come into
your kingdom." You replied, "I tell you, this day you shall be with me in
paradise." My Lord, in your agony, you were still forgiving.
Hail Mary...
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Hail Mary...
I thirst.
Hail Mary...
It is finished.
Hail Mary...
You breathed your last saying, "Father, into your hands I commend my
spirit." Lord, into your hands I commend my spirit.
Hail Mary...
The sun darkened, the earth quaked and the Temple curtain was torn
into two. "Truly, this was the son of God."
Hail Mary...
A soldier thrust his lance into your side, and blood and water came out
— you shed the last drop of your blood and water out of love for us. And a
sword pierced Mother Mary's soul, that the thoughts of many hearts
may be revealed.

Hail Mary

Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...

They wondered how they were going to remove the large stone in front of
the tomb.
Hail Mary...
An angel of the Lord appeared to them and said, "You are looking for

and tell Peter and the others."

Peter and reached the tomb first.

Then John entered; he saw and believed. Till then they had not
understood the Resurrection.
Hail Mary...
Mary Magdalene stood at the tomb, weeping. You, my Lord, asked her,
"Woman, why are you weeping?" She said, "They have taken my Lord
away. If you have taken him tell me where he is and I will go and take him."
Hail Mary...

"Mary!" "Rabbi!" "Do not cling to me for I have not yet ascended to my
Father."
Hail Mary...
Go and tell my brethren. I go to my Father and their Father, to my God
and their God.'

You appeared, 0 Lord, to Cleopas and his companion on the way to
Emmaus. You asked them, "What are you discussing as you walk along the
way?"
Hail Mary...
They had expected that Jesus who was crucified would restore the
kingdom. You said to them, "How slow you are to believe; did you not know
the Christ would have to suffer before he went to his glory?"
Hail Mary...
You explained to them the scriptures pertaining to yourself. They said,
"The hour is late; come and stay with us.- At supper you blessed bread,
broke it and gave it to them. Then they recognised you. They said, "Were
not our hearts on fire when he was with us?"

afraid. It is I. Have you anything to eat?"
Hail Mary...
You told Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands; and put your
hand and place it in my side; do not be faithless but believing." Thomas
answered, "My Lord and my God!" Then you blessed us saying, "Blessed
are those who have not seen and yet believe."
Hail Mary...
You told your disciples, "Throw your net out on the right side of the
boat." They did so and caught 153 large fish. You had said, "The kingdom
of heaven is like a net." Grant us a place in it.
Hail Mary...
Three times you asked Peter, "Simon Peter, do you love me?" He
replied, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. You know all things." And you
told him, "Feed my sheep."
Hail Mary...
You gave authority to the Apostles to forgive sins, to baptise and to
preach in your name.
Hail Mary...
You said to your Apostles, "Now I must go. You do not ask where I am
going. I go to prepare a place for you. If I do not go, I will not be able to
send you the Paraclete." You blessed them and ascended into heaven.
Hail Mary...
Two angels appeared to the Apostles and said, "Why are you standing
there looking up at the sky? This Jesus who was taken from you into

Suddenly there was a sound as of a violent wind, and there appeared
tongues as of fire which parted and settled on each one of them.
Hail Mary...
Filled with the Holy Spirit, they threw open the door, went into the city
and praised God and His Son, Jesus our Lord.
Hail Mary...
And they were able to speak in every tongue and all were amazed that
they could understand them no matter what language they spoke.
Hail Mary...
Some said, "Are these not Galileans? They must be drunk!"
Hail Mary...
Simon Peter went up the steps of the Temple and said, "Men of
Jerusalem, listen to me. These men are not drunk as you suppose. It is
only 9 o'clock in the morning. They are filled with the Holy Spirit."
Hail Mary...
He explained all the scriptures pertaining to you, my Jesus, saying
finally, "And when he came, what did you do? You hung him on a cross."
Hail Mary...
They were cut to the heart and said, "What shall we do, brothers?" Peter
replied, "Repent and be baptised."
Hail Mary...

fill our hearts and kindle in us the fire of your love; renew your gifts within
us.

the brim.
Hail Mary...
Jesus asked them to draw some water out of the jars and take it to the
man in charge of the feast.

They appeared in heavenly glory and talked with Jesus about how he
would soon fulfil God's purpose by dying in Jerusalem.

three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

with its shadow, and the disciples were afraid as the cloud came over them.

heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. The bread that I will
give him is my flesh, which I give so that the world may live."
Hail Mary...
During the last supper, Jesus said to his disciples, "I have wanted so
much to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer."
Hail Mary...
"For I tell you, I will never eat it until it is given its full meaning in the
Kingdom of God."
Hail Mary...
 Then Jesus took a cup, gave thanks to God, and said, "Take this and
share it among yourselves."
Hail Mary...
"I tell you that from now on I will not drink this wine until the kingdom of
God comes."
Hail Mary...
Then he took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it
to them saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory
of me."
Hail Mary...
In the same way he gave them the cup after the supper, saying, "This
cup is God's new covenant sealed with my blood, which is poured out for
you."
Hail Mary...
"But, look, the one who betrays me is here at the table with me!"
Hail Mary...
"The Son of man will die as God has decided, but how terrible for that
man who betrays him!"
Hail Mary...
If any one eats the Lord's bread or drinks from· his cup in a way that
dishonours him, he is guilty of sin against the Lord's body and blood.
Hail Mary ...
Glory be...
O my Jesus...
O Sacrament most holy...
