Scripture Reading, Mark 15: 6-15
Now on the occasion of the feast he used to release to them one prisoner whom they requested. A man called Barabbas was then in prison along with the rebels who had committed murder in a rebellion. The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them as he was accustomed. Pilate answered, "Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed him over. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. Pilate again said to them in reply, "Then what [do you want] me to do with [the man you call] the king of the Jews?" They shouted again, "Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" They only shouted the louder, "Crucify him." So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified.

Virtue: Purity. If you wish, concentrate on the virtue associated with this Mystery and ask God's grace to achieve it.

Holy Name: Jesus scourged. If you wish, add the Holy Name phrase after the name of Jesus in each Hail Mary of the decade, to remember the theme of the Mystery.

Our Father (The Lord's Prayer)
V. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
R. 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.

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

Invocation: The Mexican Rosary finishes each decade with the invocation of your choice. See examples in Quick Guide to the Rosary: Mexico. The U.S. Rosary omits the invocation or uses the "Fatima Prayer."

Fatima Prayer
V. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins.
R. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

Hymn: In Mexico it is customary to sing two or three verses of a hymn after each decade. See Quick Guide to the Rosary: Mexico. In general the U.S. Rosary does not include hymns.
