THURSDAY ROSARY PRAYER: LUMINOUS MYSTERIES

LEADER: The Five Luminous Mysteries

The Luminous Mysteries recall to our mind important events of the Public Ministry of Christ
through which He announces the coming of the Kingdom of God. bears witness to it in His
works, and proclaims its demands-showing that a Mystery of Christ is most evidently a Mystery
of Light.

LEADER: A Prayer Before The Rosary

Queen of the Holy Rosary, you came to Fatima to reveal to the three shepherd children the
treasures of grace hidden in the Rosary. Inspire my heart with a sincere love of this devotion, in
order that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption which are recalled in it, I may
obtain peace for the world, the conversion of sinners, and the favor which I ask of you in this
Rosary (Mention your request). I ask it for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for
the good of souls, especially for my own. Amen.

LEADER: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

THE APOSTLES CREED:

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 sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence 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.

THE OUR 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.

3 TIMES: Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our
death Amen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever
shall be, world without end.

FATIMA PRAYER: O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls to
Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.

1. THE BAPTISM: Jesus asks John The Baptist to baptize Him.

Dear Jesus, You showed us how important our sacraments are by getting baptized Yourself even
if you didn't need it. You were one with the Father always. At the baptism, God the Father spoke from
heaven, saying "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased"!
Jesus, You are the Way, Truth and the Life, help me to see Your light and have the wisdom and courage
to follow You.

Our Father…….

Glory be……

WEDDING AT CANA: Jesus changed water into wine at the wedding at Cana

Dear Jesus, Your Mother told You about the need for wine at the wedding. You advised her it
was not yet the time for You to perform miracles, but out of compassion and love for Your mother, You
performed a miracle by changing water into wine, simply because She asked. You changed water into
wine, not just any wine but the best wine, better than what they had before and You did it privately.
People were surprised that the host of the wedding served better wine at the end. My dear Jesus grant me
the grace to see the role of Mary in my life, to ask Her for help when I am in need. Because You love Her
so much, She loves me just as much as a mother. You know the desires of my heart. You easily changed
water into wine, so I trust that You can change my sorrow into joy, and my failures into triumph. With the
assistance of Your mother Mary I need You to help me to seek to please You first, to live a peaceful life,
to be a loving hand that reaches out to my brothers and sisters always, and all else that pleases You will
be added to me.

Our Father…….
10 Hail Mary……..
Glory be……
Fatima Prayer: O my Jesus…….

PROCLAMATION OF THE KINGDOM: Jesus began to preach and continued to do so for 3
years.

Dear Jesus, You left Your heaven, Your paradise to come to live with us, to come to teach us, no
matter how high the cost to You, the suffering You would go through. You accepted it so You could teach
me how to love and live a life detached from earthly good so I could earn a place in heaven and live
eternally happy. Thank You for everything You did for us. Please give me the humility to be able to
listen to You and understand what You mean.

Our Father…….
10 Hail Mary……..
Glory be……
Fatima Prayer: O my Jesus…….

TRANSFIGURATION: Jesus is transformed into dazzling light in front of the Apostles Peter, John
and James.

Dear Jesus, You called Peter, James and John to go with You on the mountain, when You got
there, You transformed into light, then Elijah and Moses appeared beside You. Peter was so surprised and
felt he joy of heaven and asked if yJesus ou could all stay there. Then the voice of God said again, "this is
my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased! Listen to Him"! Jesus, what a joy it is to be with You! What
touched my heart is that You did this to strengthen the disciples for what was going to follow. You knew
You would be beaten up, tortured and shamed, yet You willingly submitted yourself without resistance.
Facing all of that, You were able to spare a thought for your disciples who You knew may be confused
when they witness the horror that You faced, especially Peter, the one you chose to be the rock on which
you would build Your church. Thank You for understanding our weaknesses, please help me to never
deny You, to see You in everyone, to feel Your presence always. Help me to be patient with myself when
I need it. Help me to be humble enough to rely on Your guidance in this life always.

Our Father…….
10 Hail Mary……..
Glory be……
Fatima Prayer: O my Jesus…….

INSTITUTION OF THE EUCHARIST: Jesus instructed us to share the bread and wine in
memory of Him.

Dear Jesus, before You were put to death You still had to remember to give us the Eucharist
through which You would remain with us eternally because You loved us that much. At the table where
You shared Your heritage with us, was Judas who would betray You and Peter who would deny You. Yet
You didn't push anyone away, You didn't exclude anyone from taking part in Your gifts. Thank you, and
please help me to love everyone, to be fair in all I do, and to love You and see You in the Eucharist.

Our Father…….
10 Hail Mary……..
Glory be……
Fatima Prayer: O my Jesus…….

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.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Memorare: Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to
thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this
confidence, I fly unto thee O virgin of virgins and mother.To thee do I come. Before thee I stand, sinful
and sorrowful.
O mother of the world incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Final Prayer: 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 meditating upon 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.

Sign of the Cross: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of the Rosary

Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, your divine Son, Jesus is the perfect Mediator between God and human
beings, because He alone could in all justice merit our reconciliation with God as well as the graces that
God would impart after the reconciliation. You are the Mediatrix in union with Christ, from Whom your
mediation draws all its power.

You merited the title of Unique Associates above all by your union with Christ in His redemptive
sacrifice.

After Jesus, no one suffered as you did. Now your action is primarily one of intercession.

In your contemplation of God, you behold our needs with our prayers and you beg God to grant these
favors.

May the faithful recitation of my Rosary be a sign of my gratitude to Jesus and to you for all you have
done for me in bringing about my redemption. May my Rosary also be a means of obtaining all the
graces I need for the sanctification and salvation of my soul.
