THE MYSTERIES OF LIGHT

THE PREPARATORY PRAYERS

If the recitatio n of the Rosary is made as an act

of prayer for specific objects, these may bedeclared here or before the collect thatconcludes the Preparatory Prayers.

All make the Sign of the Cross with the crucifix,as the Leader begins,

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,and of the Holy Ghost.Amen.

All say,

I BELIEVE in one God, the FatherAlmighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And

of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, theonly-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his

Father before all worlds, God of God,Light of Light, Very God of very God;

Begotten, not made; Being of onesubstance with the Father; By whom all

things were made; Who for us men and forour salvation came down from heaven,

And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost andthe Virgin Mary, And was made man; And

was crucified also for us under PontiusPilate; He suffered and was buried; And

the third day he rose again according to theScriptures: And ascended into heaven, And

sitteth on the right hand of the Father; And

he shall come again, with glory, to judgeboth the quick and the dead; Whose

kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the

Lord, and giver of Life, Who proceedethfrom the Father [and the Son]; Who with

the Father and the Son together is

worshipped and glorified; Who spake bythe prophets. And I believe one holy

Catholic and Apostolic Church; Iacknowledge one Baptism for the

remission of sins; And I look for the

Resurrection of the dead; And the Life ofthe world to come. Amen.

If preferred, the Apostles Creed may be usedinstead of the above:

I BELIEVE in God, the FatherAlmighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ his only Son

our Lord: Who was conceived by theHoly Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary:

Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Wascrucified, dead, and buried: He

descended into hell; The third day herose again from the dead: He ascended

into heaven, And sitteth on the righthand of God the Father Almighty:

From thence he shall come to judge thequick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost: Theholy Catholic Church; The Communionof Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: the

Resurrection of the body: And the lifeeverlasting. Amen.

On the first solitary bead, all pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed bethy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy willbe done, On earth as it is i n heaven. Give

us this day our daily bread. And forgive us

our trespasses, As we forgive those whotrespass against us. And lead us not into

temptation, But deliver us from evil. Forthine is the kingdom, and the power, and

the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Here may be said:

O Mary, conceived without sin: Prayfor us who have recourse unto thee.

On the first small bead is said:

Hail Mary, full of grace: The Lord is with

thee. Blessed art thou among women, andblessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,

who giveth us faith.

sinners, now and in the hour of our death.Amen.

Or

in the hour of our death. Amen.On the second bead:

who is our hope.

blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,

to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the

beginning, is now and ever shall be, worldwithout end. Amen.

O, my Jesus,forgive us our sins; save usfrom the fires of hell; and bring all souls to

heaven, especially those most in need of t hymercy. Amen.

Let us pray. O God, whose only-begotten

Son, by his life, death, and resurrection,hath purchased unto us the rewards of life

eternal: Grant, we beseech thee, thatmeditating upon these mysteries of the

faith, we [together with those on behalf ofwhom we shall do so] may both imitate

what they contain and obtain what theypromise, through the same thy Son, Jesus

THE CONCLUDING DEVOTIONS

SURGE,INLUMINARE

(Isaiah 60:1-3, 11a, 14c, 18-19)

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, * and the

glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, *and gross darkness the people:

But the LORD shall arise upon thee, * and his

glory shall be seen upon thee.And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, * and

kings to the brightness of thy rising.Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; *

they shall not be shut day nor night.They shall call thee; The city of the LORD, * the

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.The sun shall be no more thy light by day; *

neither for brightness shall the moon give

light unto thee:But the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting

light, * and thy God thy glory.Thy sun shall no more go down; * neither shall

thy moon withdraw itself:For the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, *

and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
