PRAYERS OF THE ROSARY
The Rosary is a Scripture based prayer. The repetition in the Rosary is meant to help you get into a restful and thoughtful prayer so you can better meditate on Christ’s life. The Rosary can be said privately or with a group.
Make sure to state your Intention or rather your desired prayer request before you begin.
The Five Sorrowful Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Tuesdays, Fridays, and, during the season of Lent, on Sundays:
1. The Agony in the Garden – Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before he dies.
2. The Scourging at the Pillar – Jesus is lashed with whips.
3. The Crowning with Thorns – Jesus is mocked and crowned with thorns.
4. The Carrying of the Cross – Jesus carries the cross that will be used to crucify him.
5. The Crucifixion – Jesus is nailed to the cross and dies.
