Sorrowful Mysteries
Let us Pray for the dying.
“My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice be removed from Me… Yet not My will, but Yours.” (S. Matth. 26, 39)Consoler of the afflicted, lean towards us, so that, comforted by You, we may repeat after Jesus: “Not My will, but Yours, O our Father!”
1st mystery: The Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Let us ask for a perfect contrition of all our sins.
“Pilate, having had Jesus scourged, delivered Him to them to be crucified.”(S. Matth. 27, 26)Queen of martyrs, we implore from Your help strength and patience: when the chains of sickness embrace us, and we struggle in vain to shake them off, help us to turn our gaze to Jesus, chained under the strokes to the column of the scourging.
2nd mystery: The Scourging of Jesus
Let us ask for the mortification of our senses and the spirit of sacrifice.
“They weaved a crown of thorns and put it on His head, then, bowing the knee be-fore Him, they said in derision, Hail, King of the Jews.” (S. Matth. 27, 29)Mary, Refuge of sinners, obtain for us the grace to accept generously the servitude of infirmity, in reparation for the outrages inflicted on Your divine Son.
3rd mystery: Jesus is crowned with thorns
Let us ask for mortification of mind and judgment.
“The soldiers were leading at the same time two criminals who were to be put to death with Jesus.” (S. Luke 23:32)Mother without stain, who sees Your Son placed among the criminals, burdened with the faults we have committed, ob-tain for us the grace of humble repen-tance which earned for a great culprit pardon and the promise of eternal happiness.
4th mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
Let us ask to receive with much love the crosses which God sends us.
“When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to Myself.” (S. John 12, 32)Virgin full of goodness, obtain for us a powerful grace that draws us to the foot of the Cross, lifts us above the petty concerns of the earth and makes us understand the infinite love of the Savior for us.
5th mystery: The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus on the Cross
Let us ask for the grace to die to ourselves in order to live only for God. Let us ask for the perseverance of the just, the conversion of sinners and the deliverance of souls in Purgatory.
