QUICK GUIDE TO THE
ROSARY: MEXICO |
According to customs in Mexico,
and
approved by ecclesiastical authorities.
1. Initial Prayers: "Hail,
Purest Mary", then "By
the Sign of the Holy Cross", while making the Sign of
the Cross, followed by "Act
of Contrition", "Lord,
Open My Lips", and "Glory
Be".
2. Mysteries: Announce the (First) Mystery. Choose Joyful, Luminous,
Sorrowful, or Glorious
Mysteries, depending on the day of the week and the liturgical
season, or personal preference. (The Luminous
Mysteries are new, announced by Pope John Paul II on October
16, 2002).
3. Decade Prayers: While meditating on the Mystery,
say the "Our Father"
once, the"Hail Mary" ten
times, and the "Glory Be"
once.
4. Invocation: Say an invocation
of your choice, for example, "Mary,
Mother of Grace", "For
the Sake of Your Immaculate Conception", "Homage
to the Virgin of Guadalupe", or the "Fatima
Prayer." If the rosary is for the deceased, add the
invocation "Eternal Rest Grant
Unto Them, O Lord."
5. Hymn (Optional): Sing a
hymn appropriate to the theme of the Mystery, the liturgical
season, or the religious occasion.
6. Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Mysteries: Repeat
steps 2 through 5.
7. Marian Sequence: After completing one series of five
Mysteries, say one "Our Father",
"Marian Salutations",
"Hail, Holy Queen"
(recited or sung), "Litany
of the Blessed Virgin Mary" (recited or sung), and "We Fly to Your Patronage."
8. Offertory Prayer: Recite
one offertory prayer, for example, "O
God, Whose Only-Begotten Son", "Pour
Forth, We Beg You", "Grant
to Us Your Children", or "By
These Holy Mysteries."
9. Concluding Prayers: End with "Sweet
Mother", "By the Sign
of the Holy Cross", while making the Sign of the Cross,
and "Hail, Purest Mary."
