PLACE FOR INTENTIONS

--------------------

(if you have already prayed the nine-month novena

to our Lady of Guadalupeby Cardinal Leo Burke - you can move forward)

O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation.

So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.

Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.

Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God's promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray.

Amen.

--------------------

(You may add your own intention/s - we only offer a suggestion)

The grace of God will be our comfort.

On the Crucifix of Rosary:

One begins by holding the Crucifix of the Holy Rosary, kiss it, do the sign of the Cross and pray:

† In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.

Credo, (still at the Crucifix of the Rosary).

The Church is a mystery in as much as in her visible reality there is present and active a divine spiritual reality which can only be seen with the eyes of faith.

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem,

Creatorem caeli et terrae.

Et in Iesum Christum,

Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum,

Flectámus génua

qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria virgine,

Leváte

passus sub Pontio Pilato,

crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,

descendit ad inferos,

tertia die resurrexit a mortuis,

ascendit ad caelos,

sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,

inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum,

sanctam ecclesiam catholicam,

sanctorum communionem,

remissionem peccatorum,

carnis resurrectionem,

vitam aeternam.

Amen.

Pater noster    (First Pearl after the Cross)

The Word of God communicates the mystery of salvation.

Through the Lord’s Prayer, we are therefore aware of our being sons of the Father in the Son.

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:

sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;

adveniat Regnum Tuum;

fiat voluntas Tua,

sicut in caelo, et in terra.

Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;

et dimitte nobis debita nostra,

Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;

et ne nos inducas in tentationem;

sed libera nos a malo.

3 Hail Mary

(The three Cluster Pearls, pearl 2-4, are the Divine Virtues Fides, Spes et Caritas (Faith, Hope and Love)).

Mary becomes the mother of Jesus, she gave herself entirely to serve the mystery of redemption, by God's grace.

Ave Maria, gratia plena;

Dominus tecum:

benedicta tu in mulieribus,

et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatoribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.

Doxology  (the single Pearl right before the Connecting Medallion)

The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and of Christian life, and it is the source of all the other mysteries.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.

Sicut erat in principio,

et nunc, et semper,

et in saecula saeculorum.

Amen.

Fatima prayer (Card. Burke prays it right here)

The 3^rd apparition of our Lady of Fatima, 13 July 1917: When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery;

O mi Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra,

libera nos ab igne inferni,

conduc in caelum omnes animas,

praesertim illas quae tua misericordia maxime indigent.

Next Step is the Connecting Centerpiece (Medallion)

And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him. Very early on the first of the week they came to the sepulcher, the sun having risen.

And they said among themselves:

Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulcher?

And looking up they see that the stone had been rolled away; for it was very great.

They entered the sepulcher and saw a young man, sitting at the right side, clothed in a white robe; and they were amazed. He says to them:

“Be not amazed.

You seek Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified;

he has risen, he is not here: see the place where they laid him.”

And going out they fled from the sepulcher; for trembling and astonishment had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

Vespere autem sabbati quae lucescit in primam sabbati venit Maria Magdalene et altera Maria videre sepulchrum et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidem et sedebat super eum 3erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur et vestimentum eius sicut nix prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes et facti sunt velut mortui respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus nolite timere vos scio enim quod Iesum qui crucifixus est quaeritis non est hic surrexit enim sicut dixit venite videte locum ubi positus erat Dominus.

 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

“you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you,

and you shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and to the end of the earth.”

And when he had said these things, as they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, 

”why stand looking towards heaven?

This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven,

shall so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven.”

Dum haec autem loquuntur Iesus stetit in medio eorum et dicit eis pax vobis ego sum nolite timere conturbati vero et conterriti existimabant se spiritum videre 38et dixit eis quid turbati estis et cogitationes ascendunt in corda vestra videte manus meas et pedes quia ipse ego sum palpate et videte quia spiritus carnem et ossa non habet sicut me videtis habere et cum hoc dixisset ostendit eis manus et pedes adhuc autem illis non credentibus et mirantibus prae gaudio dixit habetis hic aliquid quod manducetur at illi obtulerunt ei partem piscis assi et favum mellis et cum manducasset coram eis sumens reliquias dedit eis et dixit ad eos haec sunt verba quae locutus sum ad vos cum adhuc essem vobiscum quoniam necesse est impleri omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Mosi et prophetis et psalmis de me 45tunc aperuit illis sensum ut intellegerent scripturas et dixit eis quoniam sic scriptum est et sic oportebat Christum pati et resurgere a mortuis die tertia et praedicari in nomine eius paenitentiam et remissionem peccatorum in omnes gentes incipientibus ab Hierosolyma vos autem estis testes horum et ego mitto promissum Patris mei in vos vos autem sedete in civitate quoadusque induamini virtutem ex alto eduxit autem eos foras in Bethaniam et elevatis manibus suis benedixit eis et factum est dum benediceret illis recessit ab eis et ferebatur in caelum.

And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, the disciples were all together at the same time.

And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a rushing, violent blast, and filled the whole house where they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues like fire distributing themselves, and it sat on each one of them; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

All were astonished, saying:

”And how hear we, each one in our own language?

How hear we them speaking in our own tongues,

the mighty works of God?

… What can this be?”

Et cum conplerentur dies pentecostes erant omnes pariter in eodem loco et factus est repente de caelo sonus tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes et apparuerunt illis dispertitae linguae tamquam ignis seditque supra singulos eorum 4et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto et coeperunt loqui aliis linguis prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis

But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren,

concerning those that have fallen asleep, that you sorrow not as the rest also who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,

so also those that have fallen asleep, will God through Jesus bring with him. …

the Lord himself, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,

and with the trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven,

and the dead in Christ shall arise first …

to meet the Lord in the air. so shall we always be with the Lord.

So then comfort one another in these words.

Nolumus autem vos ignorare fratres de dormientibus, ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri, qui spem non habent. Si enim credimus quod Jesus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ita et Deus eos qui dormierunt per Jesum, adducet cum eo. Hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini, quia nos, qui vivimus, qui residui sumus in adventum Domini, non praeveniemus eos qui dormierunt. Quoniam ipse Dominus in jussu, et in voce archangeli, et in tuba Dei descendet de caelo: et mortui, qui in Christo sunt, resurgent primi. Deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Christo in aera, et sic semper cum Domino erimus. Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis.

And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

And I heard a voice from heaven like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder; and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps.

And they sung a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one was able to learn the song, …

And in their mouth was found no guile;

for they are blameless.

And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Et signum magnum apparuit in caelo: mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus ejus, et in capite ejus corona stellarum duodecim:

Et vidi: et ecce Agnus stabat supra montem Sion, et cum eo centum quadraginta quatuor millia, habentes nomen ejus, et nomen Patris ejus scriptum in frontibus suis. Et audivi vocem de caelo, tamquam vocem aquarum multarum, et tamquam vocem tonitrui magni: et vocem, quam audivi, sicut citharoedorum citharizantium in citharis suis. Et cantabant quasi canticum novum ante sedem, et ante quatuor animalia, et seniores: et nemo poterat dicere canticum, nisi illa centum quadraginta quatuor millia, qui empti sunt de terra. Hi sunt, qui cum mulieribus non sunt coinquinati: virgines enim sunt. Hi sequuntur Agnum quocumque ierit. Hi empti sunt ex hominibus primitiae Deo, et Agno: et in ore eorum non est inventum mendacium: sine macula enim sunt ante thronum Dei.

Et clamabant alter ad alterum, et dicebant:

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus,

Deus exercituum;

plena est omnis terra gloria ejus.

Orémus:

Salve Regina,

Mater misericordiae,

vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae.

Ad te suspiramus,

gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia ergo, advocata nostra,

illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.

Et Iesum,

benedictum fructum ventris tui,

nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.

O clemens, o pia,

o dulcis Virgo Maria.

V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.

R. Ut digni efficamur promissionibus Christi.

Orémus:

Déus, cújus Unigénitus per vítam, mortem, et resurrectiónem

súam nóbis salútis ætérnæ præmia comparávit: concéde, quæsumus:

ut hæc mystéria sacratíssimo beátæ Maríæ Vírginis Rosário recoléntes,

et imitémur quod cóntinent,

et quod promíttunt, assequámur.

Per eúndem Chrístum Dóminum nóstrum.

Let us pray:

O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection,

has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation.

Grant, we beseech Thee: that while meditating on these mysteries

of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,

that we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise,

through Christ our Lord.

† In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.
