*Say
this Novena prayer to begin:
My
dearest Mother Mary, behold me, your child, in prayer at your feet. Accept this
Holy Rosary, which I offer you in accordance with your requests at Fatima, as a
proof of my tender love for you, for the intentions of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, in atonement for the offenses committed against your Immaculate Heart,
and for this special favor which I earnestly request in my Rosary Novena:
(Mention your request)
I
beg you to present my petition to your Divine Son. If you will pray for me, I
cannot be refused. I know, dearest Mother, that you want me to seek God’s Holy
Will concerning my request. If what I ask for should not be granted, pray that
I may receive that which will be of greater benefit to my soul.
I offer you this spiritual “Bouquet of Roses”
because I love you. I put all my confidence in you, since your prayers before
God are most powerful. For the greater glory of God and for the sake of Jesus,
your loving Son, hear and grant my prayer. Sweet Heart of Mary, be my
salvation.
*
Hail Mary
* Recite the petition prayer as follows:
Hail Queen of the Most
Holy Rosary my Mother Mary, Hail! At your feet I humbly kneel to offer
you a Crown of Roses, snow-white buds to remind you of your joys, each bud
recalling to you a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a
particular grace.
O Holy Queen dispenser of God's graces and Mother of all who invoke you! You cannot not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As you receive my gift, so will you receive my petition; from your bounty you will give me the favor I so earnestly and trustingly seek.
I despair of nothing that I ask of you. Show yourself, my Mother!

* The First Joyful
Mystery
The Annunciation
“In
the 6th month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of
Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the
house of David, and virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her he said, “Hail!
Favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was
said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to
her, “Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you
will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He
will be great and will called Son of the Most High”…And Mary said, “Behold, I
am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”
Luke 1: 26-38
Oh
Mary, with Your "yes" You have opened heaven's ways, You have
achieved the will of the Father. You will be blessed for ever: Your
intercession is heard in Heaven, because You have accepted God's plan.
Sweet
Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Annunciation, when the angel
Gabriel appeared to you with the tidings that you were to become the Mother of
God; greeting you with the sublime salutation, Hail, full of grace! The Lord is
with thee!" and you humbly submitted yourself to the will of the Father,
responding; "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, Be it done unto me according
to Your word" Let us pray that we can say "yes" to the
Father in every instance He ask it of us. Mary help us to be humble and
obedient to God's will.
I humbly pray...

*The Second Joyful
Mystery
The Visitation
Mary
arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of
Juda. And entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth. When
Elisabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit and she spoke out with a loud voice, and said:
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb".
... And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; for my
spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s
lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One
has done great things for me, and holy is his name"...
Luke 1:39-49
Sweet
Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of The Visitation, when, upon your visit
to your holy cousin, Elizabeth, she greeted you with prophetic utterance,
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb!" And, you answered with the canticles, The Magnificat. Lord help us to carry Christ to others, like Mary did. Let us ask Mary
the gift of burning charity.

*The Third Joyful Mystery
The Nativity
And
so it was, that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her
child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the
inn. And there shepherds in that region living in the fields, keeping watch
over their flock by night. The angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were afraid. And the angel
said to them: "Do not be afraid: for, behold, I bring you good news of
great joy that will be for all people. For today in the city of David a Saviour
a savior has been born which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto
you; you will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger".
Luke 2: 6-12
Sweet
Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of The Nativity of our Lord, when, your
time being completed, you brought forth, O Holy Virgin, the Redeemer of the
World in a stable at Bethlehem; where choirs of angels filled the heavens with
their exultant song of praise---"Glory to God in the Highest, on earth
peace to men of good will," Let us ask Mary to make us love
Jesus more, and also the gift of poverty of spirit.

*The Fourth Joyful
Mystery
The Presentation
And
when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were
accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; And to
offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A
pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. And, behold, there was a man in
Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting
for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. ...When the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said: " Now, Master,
you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have
you’re your salvation... A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your
people of Israel." And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken about him. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his
mother: "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many
in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (a sword shall pierce
through your own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be
revealed."
Luke 2: 22-35
Sweet
Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of The Presentation, when, in obedience
to the Law of Moses, you presented the Child in the Temple, where the holy
prophet Simeon, taking the child in his arms, offered thanks to God for sparing
him to look upon his Saviour and foretold thy sufferings by the words:
"thy soul also a sword shall pierce..." We need to pay attention
to the voice of God, to discern His call and accept the mission He gave us.
After the Simeon prophecy, Mary takes into Her Heart the wound of sorrow, but
in the silence she accepts the will of Her Father.

*The Fifth Joyful Mystery
Finding of the Child Jesus in The Temple
Now
his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. And when
he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the
feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus
remained behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother did not know. But they,
supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they
sought him among their relatives and acquaintances. And when they didn’t find
him, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass,
that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the
doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him
were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they
were amazed: and his mother said to him: "Son, why have you done this to
us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety". And
he said to them: "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I
would be in my Father’s house?" But they did not understand what he said
to them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them:
but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Luke
2: 41-51
Sweet
Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of Finding of the Child Jesus in the
Temple, when having sought him for three days, sorrowing, your heart was
gladdened when you found him in the Temple speaking to the doctors; and when,
upon your request, He obediently returned home with you. Let us think of how
many times we have been far from Jesus; from that Jesus, who with so much love
has died for us. Let us meditate that in the difficulties of life the only
safety is finding Jesus and never again leaving his great love.

O
God! Who’s only-begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has
purchased for us the reward of eternal life; grant, we ask You, 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.
May
the divine assistance remain always with us. Amen.
And
may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in
peace. Amen
Holy
Virgin, with the loving Child, thy blessing give to us this day.
*HAIL
HOLY QUEEN
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 towards us. And after this our exile, show unto
us the blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, Oh loving, Oh sweet Virgin
Mary. Pray for us, Oh 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 your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits, who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
