We Pray the Rosary in May for Mary our Mother.

The steps to praying the Rosary are:

  1. Make the Sign of the Cross and say the “Apostles’ Creed”
  2. Say the “Our Father”
  3. Say three “Hail Marys” for Faith, Hope, and Charity
  4. Say the “Glory Be”
  5. Announce the First Mystery and then say the “Our Father”
  6. Say ten “Hail Marys” while meditating on the Mystery
  7. Say the “Glory Be” (Optional: Say the “O My Jesus” prayer requested by Mary at Fatima)
  8. Announce the Next Mystery; then say the “Our Father” and repeat these steps (6 through 8) as you continue through the remaining Mysteries.
  9. Say the closing prayers: the “Hail Holy Queen” and “Final Prayer”
  10. Make the “Sign of the Cross”
  11. Pope Saint John Paul II suggested the recitation of the Rosary as follows: the JOYFUL mysteries Monday and Saturday, the LUMINOUS on Thursday, the SORROWFUL on Tuesday and Friday, and the GLORIOUS on Wednesday and Sunday (with this exception; Sundays of Advent and Christmas – the JOYFUL; Sundays of Lent – the SORROWFUL).

Week 6 of Eastertide

As another week commences within the context of Covid-19 and we move toward the end of the Easter Season, its encouraging to know that we are never alone.

The Gospel reading for this weekend is from John 14:15-21. It reminds us of Jesus’ promise that he will ask the Father to give us the Spirit of Truth.

What does this mean in your life? When do you call on this Spirit? Is it when fear or anxiety threaten you or someone you love and care for? Is it whenever you face changes or challenges that mean letting go of familiar places and circumstances and trust the unknown? Is it at times when you’re called to ‘speak truth to power’ at work, in Church or other places? Is it as you reflect on the state of much of the politics and situations in our world today?

As we respond to the call of Jesus may we renew our commitment to let love inform our words, our decisions and our living.
