Clauses For The Rosary

[HillbillyHermit]

Thought I’d share the clauses found in “Praying the Rosary: With the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, & Glorious Mysteries” by Michael Dubruiel & Amy Welbourn. (ISBN 1-59276-151-8)

…Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus:

The Joyful Mysteries

1. who came to save us.
2. who brings joy to His people.
3. who was born to save us.
4. who was presented in the Temple.
5. who was found in the Temple.

The Luminous Mysteries

1. who was baptized by John in the Jordan.
2. who changed the water into wine.
3. who invites us to seek the reign of God in our lives.
4. who was transfigured before the apostles’ eyes.
5. who gives Himself to us in the Eucharist.

The Sorrowful Mysteries

1. who prayed that the Father’s will be done.
2. who was scourged for our sins.
3. who was mocked and crowned with thorns.
4. who carries His cross.
5. who died for us on the cross.

The Glorious Mysteries

1. who rose from the dead on the third day.
2. who ascended into heaven.
3. who promised the Holy Spirit to his Church.
4. who has brought His mother into heaven.
5. who crowned His mother Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Some folks here, like me, experience times when it’s hard to concentrate on the mysteries. Maybe this will help. These could also add some variety for those who also use St. Louis De Montfort’s method.

The book has nice icons, readings from the RSV-CE, and a prayer at the end of each mystery. It’s all based on Blessed JPII’s letter on the Rosary and has the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.

Oh, and sometimes I replace the plural forms in the clauses with “me” or “my.” That helps too.
