A ROSARY FOR LIFE: THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES

Let us pray together

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit........

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead, on the third day He rose again He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy, Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

We say one One Our Father for the intentions of out Holy Father

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH - By Pope Leo XIII

O holy protector of the holy family and Patron of Canada, protect us children of the Lord Jesus Christ; keep far from us the errors and evils which corrupt the world; assist us from Heaven in our struggles against the powers of darkness.

Spread over all of us your holy patronage so that by following your example and aided by your spiritual guidance, we may all aspire to a virtuous life, look to a holy death, and secure for ourselves the blessing of eternal happiness in Heaven.
