«In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph!»
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,
O
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.
In
the
Name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
of
the
Mother of God. Amen.

OUR
FATHER,
who

hallowed
be
Thy

Glorious Mysteries
LET
US
CONTEMPLATE
Jesus
rising
glo
-
rious
from
the
grave.
He
has
overcome
death.
The
world
can
do
nothing
against
God.
God
lets
people
act,
but
in
the
end
His
almighty
power
will
overcome
the
powers of darkness.
The
Apostles
were
totally
discouraged
over
Our
Lord’s
death.
They
considered
everything
humanly;
for
them,
Jesus
Crucified
placed
in
the
tomb
was
a
disas
-
ter,
the
ruin
of
all
their
hopes.
They
had
not
yet
understood
that
everything
had
to
happen
this
way.
Jesus
said
to
the
disciples
of
Emmaus,
also
totally
discouraged
over
His
death,
Did
not
the
Christ
have
to
suffer
these
things
before
entering
into
His
glory?…
And
He interpreted the Scriptures to them.
It
is
in
the
light
of
the
Gospel
that
we
will
understand
the
thought
of
God.
Jesus
said
to
the
Sadducees,
You
err
because
you
know
not
the
Scriptures.
To
conform
our
thought
with
God’s,
we
must
set
aside
all
our
personal
thoughts.
Let
us
empty
ourselves
of
our
-
selves
so
that
Jesus
may
fill
us
with
Himself.
You
have
to
empty
a
container
before
you
can
pour
liquid
into
it.
You
cannot
mix
wine
and
gasoline:
they
do
not
go
together.
The
supernatural
and
the
natural
do
not
mix:
No
man
can
serve
two
masters;
for
either
he
will
hate
the
one
and
love
the
other,
or
else
he
will
stand
by
the
one
and
despise
the
other.
Let
us
ask
the
risen
Christ
for
the
grace
to
empty
ourselves
of
all
that
is
human
and
natural
in
order to fill ourselves with His divine and supernatural spirit.
1
st
mystery: The Resurrection of Jesus
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
Your
glorious
Resurrection,
and
through
this
mystery
and
the
intercession
of
Your
holy
Mother,
we
ask
You
for
love
of
God
and
fervor
in Your service.
LET
US
GO
to
the
Mount
of
Olives,
where
the
Disciples
have
gathered.
Jesus
has
given
them
His
last
instructions
before
going
up
to
heaven:
Go
and
make
disciples
of
all
nations…
teaching
them
to
observe
all
that I have commanded you.
It
is
especially
by
our
life
that
we
will
teach
others
to
know
God.
The
witness
of
our
life
will
be
more
convincing
than
all
our
words.
Our
life
should
prove
that
God
is
more
interesting
than
everything
else.
If
we
are
interested
in
the
things
of
the
world,
if
we
are
worldly,
sensual,
curious,
gloomy,
souls
will
not
be
attracted
to
God.
Our life must show that God is the source of happiness.
It
is
not
fine
words
that
convert
people.
One
or
two
words
spoken
awkwardly,
perhaps,
by
a
Saint
wholly
sacrificed
to
God
are
far
more
effective
for
converting
a
soul
than
the
unctuous
addresses
of
eloquent
preachers.
Because
he
lived
what
he
taught,
Saint
Francis
of
Assisi
moved
crowds
with
a
few
words,
and
rather
clumsy
ones
at
that.
To
be
true
apostles,
it
is
of
prime
importance
to
be
souls
wholly
given
to
God,
wholly
immo
-
lated.
Otherwise
we
shall
be
tinkling
cymbals,
as
Saint
Paul
says;
our
activity
will
remain
fruitless in souls if our life does not correspond to our words.
Jesus
went
up
to
heaven
to
prepare
a
place
for
us,
as
He
said
to
His
Apostles.
Let
us
ask
for
the
grace
to
merit
the
place
God
is
reserving
for
us,
the
eternal
happiness
He
wants
to
grant
us,
by
a
life
wholly
consecrated
to
His
service,
in
imitation
of
Jesus.
Let
us
walk
in the footsteps of Jesus so that we may follow Him into the glory of the Father’s house.
2
nd
mystery: The Ascension of Jesus in Heaven
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
Your
triumphant
Ascension,
and
through
this
mystery
and
the
intercession
of
Your
holy
Mother,
we
ask
You
for
an
ardent
desire
for
Heaven, our only Homeland.
LET
US
ADMIRE
the
power
of
the
opera
-
tion
of
the
Holy
Spirit
upon
the
Apostles:
they
were
timid
and
fearful,
but
Pentecost
made
them
strong
and
courageous,
ready
to
undergo
martyrdom.
Let
us
ask
the
Holy
Spirit
to
work
this
change,
this
transformation
in
us,
so
that
we
may
fully
accomplish
what
God
expects
of
us.
Let
us
implore
Him
to
make
us
faithful
to
His
grace
and
docile
to
His
divine
inspira
-
tions.
Fidelity
to
one
grace
disposes
the
soul
to
receive
others.
It
is
fidelity
to
grace
that
makes
the
Saints.
God
gives
His
grace
to
everyone;
those
who
correspond
to
it
become
Saints,
whereas
the
others
remain mediocre or wicked.
God
is
eager
to
lavish
His
gifts
abundantly
upon
the
world,
but
He
needs
docile
instru
-
ments.
Let
us
ask
for
obedience
to
the
lights
of
God
and
for
the
interior
silence
that
will
allow
us
to
hear
His
voice.
God
speaks
to
souls,
but
to
hear
Him
we
need
inner
silence:
we
must
work
at
silencing
all
interior
noises,
the
noise
of
our
passions,
our
inner
re
-
volts
and
complaints,
our
human
judgments,
in
order
to
desire
only
the
fulfillment
of
the divine Will.
Let
us
ask
the
Holy
Spirit
to
grant
us
His
gifts
in
abundance:
the
gift
of
Fortitude,
which
gives
us
the
courage
to
undertake
everything
for
God
without
fear
of
men;
the
gift
of
Intelligence,
which
makes
us
understand
the
things
of
God
and
discover
the
splendor
of
eternal
truths;
the
gift
of
Wisdom,
which
makes
us
appreciate
the
things
of
God
above
all else, and makes us lose interest in the things of the earth.
3
rd
mystery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the
Blessed Virgin Mary and the Apostles
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
the
mystery
of
Pentecost,
and
we
ask
You,
through
this
mystery
and
through
the
intercession
of
Your
holy
Mother,
for
the
descent
of
the Holy Spirit into our souls.
LET
US
CONTEMPLATE
the
Blessed
Virgin,
who
rose
up
to
heaven
to
receive
the
reward
for
Her
life
of
total
conformity
to
the
holy
Will
of
God.
Let
us
ask
to
fulfill
all
the
designs
of
God
upon
us,
following
the
example
of
our
good
Mother.
Let
us
prove
our
devotion
to
Her
by
imitating
Her in all things.
Let
us
ask
our
heavenly
Mother
to
live
on
earth
doing
good
as
She
did.
May
our
company
be
beneficial
to
all,
may
we
be
a
subject
of
joy
for
our
neighbor.
The
Blessed
Virgin
was
modest
and
effaced;
She
made
Herself
the
Handmaid
of
all.
People
who
were
with
Her
had
no
idea
of
all
the
privileges
and
prerogatives
She
had
received
from
Heaven,
for
Mary
was
so
simple
and
unaffected.
She
seemed
to
be
a
perfectly
ordi
-
nary
person,
but
She
stood
out
by
Her
humility,
Her
effacement,
Her
amiability,
Her
dedication, Her charity and Her kindness.
Let
us
ask
Her
to
warm
our
hearts
with
the
fire
of
Her
Immaculate
Heart,
all
burning
with
love
for
Her
children
of
earth;
may
She
fill
us
with
Her
generous
charity.
Let
us
ask
Her
above
all
to
imbue
us
with
Her
humility;
without
humility,
there
can
be
no
true
charity.
Let
us
give
thanks
to
our
Mother
for
everything
She
does
for
us:
She
is
the
Coredemptrix
with
Her
divine
Son
to
work
out
our
salvation.
Mary
continues
unceasingly
to
occupy
Herself
with
our
souls;
She
intervenes
continually
to
protect
Her
children
here
below.
Let us thank Her for Her visits to the earth.
4
th
mystery: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
into Heaven
We
offer
You
Lord
Jesus
this
decade
in
honor
of
the
triumphant
Assumption
of
Your
holy
Mother
into
Heaven
and
we
ask
You
through
this
mystery
and
through
Her
intercession
a
tender devotion for such a good Mother.
LET
US
CONTEMPLATE
the
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
being
crowned
by
Her
divine
Son.
She
received
the
reward
for
Her
holy
life.
How
happy
She
is
to
have
sacrificed
Herself
on
earth,
to
have
suffered
for
the
love
of
God!
Let
us
ask
to
be
strong
souls
ready
to
do
everything
and
suffer
every
-
thing
to
merit
a
beautiful
crown
in
heaven
like
the
Blessed
Virgin
did;
She
did not steal Her crown.
We
are
on
earth
only
in
passing.
Everything
will
vanish
for
us
in
this
world,
but
heaven
remains.
If
we
serve
God
faithfully
in
this
short
life,
we
will
soon
join
the
Saints
in
Paradise
to
enjoy
an
eternity
of
boundless
happiness
with
our
God
who
is
so
good,
with
Jesus
our
Saviour,
with
our
good
heavenly
Mother.
That
is
the
goal
of
our
pilgrimage
in
this
world,
let
us
not
forget
it
for
a
moment.
Our
little
life
passes
very
quickly,
and
soon
we
will
be
in
the
other
world.
People
are
senseless;
they
want
to
enjoy
life
and
have
a
good
time.
All
that
will
remain
of
our
life
is
having
labored
for
God,
hav
-
ing sacrificed everything for His love.
Let
us
lift
our
souls
unceasingly
to
God.
Let
us
not
remain
glued
to
the
earth;
it
is
too
depressing
to
look
at
so
many
ugly,
disgusting
things.
We
must
lift
ourselves
above
the
earth,
look
at
everything
in
God,
rise
above
the
clouds
like
a
plane.
Let
us
rise
above
all
the miseries of this world, let us rise up into God’s heaven.
Let
us
ask
for
the
Blessed
Virgin’s
protection,
Her
assistance,
Her
guidance.
Let
us
con
-
secrate
ourselves
to
this
good
Mother.
Let
us
entrust
Her
with
everything
that
concerns
us.
Let
us
put
everything
in
Her
hands:
She
will
take
care
of
us
like
a
good
Mother.
Let
us
ask
Her
to
teach
us
to
know
and
love
Her
Jesus,
to
serve
Him
and
please
Him
in
all
things. Amen.

Lord’s
death.
They
considered
every
-
thing
humanly;
for
them,
Jesus
Crucified
placed
in
the
tomb
was
a
disaster,
the
ruin
of
all
their
hopes.
They
had
not
yet
understood
that
everything
had
to
happen
this
way.
Jesus
said
to
the
disciples
of
Emmaus,
also
totally
discouraged
over
His
death,
Did
not
the
Christ
have
to
suffer
these
things
before
entering
into
His
glory?…
And
He
interpreted
the
Scriptures
to
them.
It
is
in
the
light
of
the
Gospel
that
we
will
understand
the
thought
of
God.
Jesus
said
to
the
Sadducees,
You
err
because
you
know
not
the
Scriptures.
To
conform
our
thought
with
God’s,
we
must
set
aside
all
our
personal
thoughts.
Let
us
empty
ourselves
of
our
-
selves
so
that
Jesus
may
fill
us
with
Himself.
You
have
to
empty
a
container
before
you
can
pour
liquid
into
it.
You
cannot
mix
wine
and
gasoline:
they
do
not
go
together.
The
supernatural
and
the
natural
do
not
mix:
No
man
can
serve
two
masters;
for
either
he
will
hate
the
one
and
love
the
other,
or
else
he
will
stand
by
the
one
and
despise
the
other.
Let
us
ask
the
risen
Christ
for
the
grace
to
empty
ourselves
of
all
that
is
human
and
natural
in
order
to
fill
ourselves
with
His
divine and supernatural spirit.
1
st
mystery: The Resurrection of
Jesus
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
Your
glorious
Resurrection,
and
through
this
mystery
and
the
intercession
of
Your
holy
Mother,
we
ask
You
for
love
of
God and fervor in Your service.
LET
US
GO
to
the
Mount
of
Olives,
where
the
Disciples
have
gathered.
Jesus
has
given
them
His
last
instructions
be
-
fore
going
up
to
heaven:
Go
and
make
disciples
of
all
na
-
tions…
teaching
them
to
observe
all that I have commanded you.
It
is
especially
by
our
life
that
we
will
teach
others
to
know
God.
The
witness
of
our
life
will
be
more
convincing
than
all
our
words.
Our
life
should
prove
that
God
is
more
interesting
than
everything
else.
If
we
are
interested
in
the
things
of
the
world,
if
we
are
worldly,
sensual,
curious,
gloomy,
souls
will
not
be
attracted
to
God.
Our
life
must show that God is the source of happiness.
It
is
not
fine
words
that
convert
people.
One
or
two
words
spoken
awkwardly,
perhaps,
by
a
Saint
wholly
sacrificed
to
God
are
far
more
effective
for
converting
a
soul
than
the
unctuous
addresses
of
eloquent
preachers.
Because
he
lived
what
he
taught,
Saint
Francis
of
Assisi
moved
crowds
with
a
few
words,
and
rather
clumsy
ones
at
that.
To
be
true
apostles,
it
is
of
prime
importance
to
be
souls
wholly
given
to
God,
wholly
immolated.
Otherwise
we
shall
be
tinkling
cymbals,
as
Saint
Paul
says;
our
activity
will
remain
fruitless
in
souls
if
our
life
does
not
correspond
to
our words.
Jesus
went
up
to
heaven
to
prepare
a
place
for
us,
as
He
said
to
His
Apostles.
Let
us
ask
for
the
grace
to
merit
the
place
God
is
reserving
for
us,
the
eternal
happiness
He
wants
to
grant
us,
by
a
life
wholly
con
-
secrated
to
His
service,
in
imitation
of
Jesus.
Let
us
walk
in
the
footsteps
of
Jesus
so
that
we
may
follow
Him into the glory of the Father’s house.
2
nd
mystery: The Ascension of Jesus in
Heaven
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
Your
triumphant
Ascension,
and
through
this
mystery
and
the
intercession
of
Your
holy
Mother,
we
ask
You
for
an
ardent desire for Heaven, our only Homeland.
LET
US
ADMIRE
the
power
of
the
operation
of
the
Holy
Spirit
upon
the
Apostles:
they
were
timid
and
fearful,
but
Pentecost
made
them
strong
and
courageous,
ready
to
un
-
dergo
martyrdom.
Let
us
ask
the
Holy
Spirit
to
work
this
change,
this
transformation
in
us,
so
that
we
may
fully
ac
-
complish
what
God
expects
of
us.
Let
us
implore
Him
to
make
us
faithful
to
His
grace
and
docile
to
His
di
-
vine
inspirations.
Fidelity
to
one
grace
disposes
the
soul
to
receive
others.
It
is
fidelity
to
grace
that
makes
the
Saints.
God
gives
His
grace
to
everyone;
those
who
correspond
to
it
become
Saints,
whereas
the others remain mediocre or wicked.
God
is
eager
to
lavish
His
gifts
abundantly
upon
the
world,
but
He
needs
docile
instruments.
Let
us
ask
for
obedience
to
the
lights
of
God
and
for
the
interior
silence
that
will
allow
us
to
hear
His
voice.
God
speaks
to
souls,
but
to
hear
Him
we
need
inner
si
-
lence:
we
must
work
at
silencing
all
interior
noises,
the
noise
of
our
passions,
our
inner
revolts
and
com
-
plaints,
our
human
judgments,
in
order
to
desire
only the fulfillment of the divine Will.
Let
us
ask
the
Holy
Spirit
to
grant
us
His
gifts
in
abundance:
the
gift
of
Fortitude,
which
gives
us
the
courage
to
undertake
everything
for
God
without
fear
of
men;
the
gift
of
Intelligence,
which
makes
us
understand
the
things
of
God
and
discover
the
splendor
of
eternal
truths;
the
gift
of
Wisdom,
which
makes
us
appreciate
the
things
of
God
above
all
else,
and makes us lose interest in the things of the earth.
3
rd
mystery: The Descent of the Holy
Spirit on the Blessed Virgin Mary
and the Apostles
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
the
mystery
of
Pentecost,
and
we
ask
You,
through
this
mystery
and
through
the
intercession
of
Your
holy
Mother, for the descent of the Holy Spirit into our souls.
LET
US
CONTEMPLATE
the
Blessed
Virgin,
who
rose
up
to
heaven
to
receive
the
reward
for
Her
life
of
total
conformity
to
the
holy
Will
of
God.
Let
us
ask
to
fulfill
all
the
designs
of
God
upon
us,
following
the
example
of
our
good
Mother.
Let
us
prove
our
devotion
to
Her
by
imitating
Her
in
all
things.
Let
us
ask
our
heavenly
Mother
to
live
on
earth
doing
good
as
She
did.
May
our
company
be
benefi
-
cial
to
all,
may
we
be
a
subject
of
joy
for
our
neigh
-
bor.
The
Blessed
Virgin
was
modest
and
effaced;
She
made
Herself
the
Handmaid
of
all.
People
who
were
with
Her
had
no
idea
of
all
the
privileges
and
prerog
-
atives
She
had
received
from
Heaven,
for
Mary
was
so
simple
and
unaffected.
She
seemed
to
be
a
per
-
fectly
ordinary
person,
but
She
stood
out
by
Her
hu
-
mility,
Her
effacement,
Her
amiability,
Her
dedication, Her charity and Her kindness.
Let
us
ask
Her
to
warm
our
hearts
with
the
fire
of
Her
Immaculate
Heart,
all
burning
with
love
for
Her
children
of
earth;
may
She
fill
us
with
Her
generous
charity.
Let
us
ask
Her
above
all
to
imbue
us
with
Her
humility;
without
humility,
there
can
be
no
true
charity.
Let
us
give
thanks
to
our
Mother
for
everything
She
does
for
us:
She
is
the
Coredemptrix
with
Her
divine
Son
to
work
out
our
salvation.
Mary
continues
un
-
ceasingly
to
occupy
Herself
with
our
souls;
She
in
-
tervenes
continually
to
protect
Her
children
here
below. Let us thank Her for Her visits to the earth.
4
th
mystery: The Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven
We
offer
You
Lord
Jesus
this
decade
in
honor
of
the
triumphant
Assumption
of
Your
holy
Mother
into
Heaven
and
we
ask
You
through
this
mystery
and
through
Her
intercession
a
tender
devotion
for
such
a
good Mother.
LET
US
CONTEMPLATE
the
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
being
crowned
by
Her
divine
Son.
She
received
the
reward
for
Her
holy
life.
How
happy
She
is
to
have
sacrificed
Herself
on
earth,
to
have
suffered
for
the
love
of
God!
Let
us
ask
to
be
strong
souls
ready
to
do
ev
-
erything
and
suffer
everything
to
merit
a
beautiful
crown
in
heaven
like
the
Blessed
Virgin
did;
She
did
not
steal
Her
crown.
We
are
on
earth
only
in
passing.
Everything
will
van
-
ish
for
us
in
this
world,
but
heaven
remains.
If
we
serve
God
faithfully
in
this
short
life,
we
will
soon
join
the
Saints
in
Paradise
to
enjoy
an
eternity
of
boundless
happiness
with
our
God
who
is
so
good,
with
Jesus
our
Saviour,
with
our
good
heavenly
Mother.
That
is
the
goal
of
our
pilgrimage
in
this
world,
let
us
not
forget
it
for
a
moment.
Our
little
life
passes
very
quickly,
and
soon
we
will
be
in
the
other
world.
People
are
senseless;
they
want
to
enjoy
life
and
have
a
good
time.
All
that
will
remain
of
our
life
is
having
labored
for
God,
having
sacrificed
every
-
thing for His love.
Let
us
lift
our
souls
unceasingly
to
God.
Let
us
not
re
-
main
glued
to
the
earth;
it
is
too
depressing
to
look
at
so
many
ugly,
disgusting
things.
We
must
lift
our
-
selves
above
the
earth,
look
at
everything
in
God,
rise
above
the
clouds
like
a
plane.
Let
us
rise
above
all
the
miseries
of
this
world,
let
us
rise
up
into
God’s
heaven.
Let
us
ask
for
the
Blessed
Virgin’s
protection,
Her
as
-
sistance,
Her
guidance.
Let
us
consecrate
ourselves
to
this
good
Mother.
Let
us
entrust
Her
with
everything
that
concerns
us.
Let
us
put
everything
in
Her
hands:
She
will
take
care
of
us
like
a
good
Mother.
Let
us
ask
Her
to
teach
us
to
know
and
love
Her
Jesus,
to
serve
Him and please Him in all things. Amen.
5
th
mystery: The Coronation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
decade
in
honor
of
the
Coronation
of
Your
holy
Mother,
and
we
ask
You
through
this
mystery
and
through
Her
intercession
for
perseverance in grace and the crown in glory.
Promise of Our Lady at Fatima
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,
O
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.
In
the
Name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the
Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.
