August Rosary -
For the
children of the parish as they return to school.
The Chaplet of Our Lady of Sorrows
– Most members of OLS are not familiar with this prayer that has its
origin with St. Bridget of Sweden during a pilgrimage she made to the
Holy Land. It is similar to saying a rosary but with a different number
of beads and a different order to the prayers. Here is how the Chaplet
of Our Lady of sorrows is said:
·
With
the crucifix make the Sign of the Cross, touching the crucifix to
the forehead, chest and shoulders.
·
On
the first bead say, “O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to
help me.”
·
On
the second bead say, “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have
mercy on me, a sinner.”
·
On
the third bead say, “Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for
me.”
·
On
the fourth bead say, “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son…”
·
One
Our Father and seven Hail Mary’s are said for each of the
seven sorrows of Mary. Announce the sorrow then say the Our Father
followed by the seven Hail Mary’s. No other prayers follow the
septets.
·
The
seven sorrows of Mary are:
o
The
Prophecy of Simeon
o
The
Flight into Egypt
o
The
Losing of the Child Jesus in Jerusalem
o
Mary
Meets Jesus on the Road to Calvary
o
The
Death of the Lord Jesus
o
Mary
Receives the Body of Jesus into her Arms
o
The
Burial of Jesus
·
After the seventh septet, one Our Father, one Hail Mary
and one Glory Be are said for the intentions of the Pope, using
the singular bead.
·
Three Hail Mary’s are said on the three beads in honor of the
tears of the Sorrowful Mother.
The
chaplet concludes with the Sign of the Cross in the same manner
in which it began August Rosary -

the Rosary
The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory
certain principal events or mysteries in the history of our salvation, and to
thank and praise God for them. There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the
Rosary, and these are divided into the five
JOYFUL MYSTERIES, the five
LUMINOUS MYSTERIES, the five
SORROWFUL MYSTERIES, and the five
GLORIOUS MYSTERIES.
After the Rosary:
HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our
sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to
thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn
then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our
exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O
sweet Virgin Mary!
-
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
-
-
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray. O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His
life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of
eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these
mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may
imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same
Christ Our Lord. Amen.
After each decade say the following prayer requested by
the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us
from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most
need of your mercy."
As suggested by the Pope John Paul II the Joyful
mysteries are said on 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 Christmas season - The Joyful; Sundays of Lent -
Sorrowful)
