In honor of the Month of October, please join in praying the Eucharistic Rosary
What is “The Eucharistic Rosary”?
A Devotion that is suitable at Holy Mass and at the Hour of Adoration
The Holy Rosary, on account of the meditations on the mysteries in the life of Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin,
which we make while reciting it, is one of the most useful devotions while assisting at Mass, or, in connection
with our visits to the Blessed Sacrament and the Hour of Adoration.
The Eucharistic Rosary is especially recommended for this purpose, as it unites meditation on the sacred
mysteries of the rosary with reflections on the life of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. The rosary is one of the
most admirable and beneficial devotions practiced in the Catholic Church. Its method and design are stated to
have been revealed to St. Dominic by the Blessed Virgin Mary, who admonished him to preach it with all the
fervor of his soul as a singularly efficacious remedy for the overthrow of heresy and the extirpation of vice.
And she said to him: "Thou shalt inform my people that it is a devotion most acceptable to my Son and to me."
It is adapted alike to the learned and ignorant, to the cloister and the world, and to every capacity, the words
being so easy that the most illiterate may learn them, and the mysteries so sublime as to afford matter of
contemplation and entertainment to the highest intellects. No Christian could slight it without irreverence or
neglect its frequent use without serious detriment to piety. The numerous indulgences attached to the recitation
of the rosary make this form of devotion a powerful instrument for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory.
. . . If you persevere in this pious practice you will increase daily in love to Jesus Christ, and in imitation of
the virtues of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. . . .
The Eucharistic Rosary
The Recitation of the Holy Rosary in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament
THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES
THE FIRST JOYFUL MYSTERY - The Annunciation
O Jesus, born of Thy Father from all eternity; filled with an incomprehensible love for men, Thou didst become man in the
womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary through the operation of the Holy Ghost, humbling Thyself to such a degree as to take
the form of a servant. The same charity hath prompted Thee to perpetuate, in the Eucharist, this mystery of annihilation and
love, even to improve on it by becoming the food of our souls.
Divine Jesus, we adore Thee in these unfathomable debasements, and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of
Thy holy Mother, a deep and heartfelt humility.
THE SECOND JOYFUL MYSTERY - The Visitation
Divine Saviour, from the womb of Mary, wherein Thou didst become incarnate, Thou breathest forth sanctity into John the
Baptist and upon the whole house of Elizabeth. From the Host wherein Thou dwellest, Thou spreadest all over the world
the influence of Thy grace and Thy love throughout the whole Church.
O divine Jesus, full of love and kindness, we adore Thee, and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy
Mother, perfect charity toward our neighbors.
THE THIRD JOYFUL MYSTERY - The Nativity of Our Lord
O King of kings! poor indeed, yet most lovely in the crib of Bethlehem, Thou callest the simple and the poor to be Thy first
adorers: poorer and no less amiable to the eyes of faith in the sacrament of Thy love, Thou art still delighted to see around
Thy person the humble and the little.
O Jesus, in Thy destitution we adore Thee, to Whom belong all the treasures of the Godhead, and we beg of Thee,
through the intercession of Thy holy Mother, detachment from the goods of this world.
THE FOURTH JOYFUL MYSTERY - The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, Thou offerest Thyself with perfect obedience and love to Thy Father,
through the hands of the high-priest, as the Victim that is to be immolated on the cross; every day also Thou offerest Thyself
upon the altar by the hands of the priest, with the same obedience and love as our Victim always sacrificed and always
living.
O sweet Victim, we adore Thee and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother the spirit of
obedience and sacrifice.
THE FIFTH JOYFUL MYSTERY - The Finding of Our Lord in the Temple
O Jesus, Thou withdrawest and leavest Mary and Joseph in tears to do the work of Thy Father; but Thou fillest them with
joy when they find Thee in the midst of the Doctors amazed at Thy knowledge and wisdom. Veiled in the Eucharist, Thou
impartest there divine teachings, and Thou fillest with joy those who seek Thee with their whole heart.
O hidden God! we adore Thee, and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother, the grace of
seeking Thee with a lively and persevering faith in the sacrament of Thy love.
THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
THE FIRST SORROWFUL MYSTERY - The Agony of Our Lord in the Gardens of Olives
Divine Saviour, under the weight of sorrow and sadness caused by our sins, Thou fallest, bathed in a sweat of blood, and
Thou endurest a mortal agony. In the Blessed Sacrament, also, Thou art still more humbled and annihilated on account of
our sins.
We adore Thee and we compassionate Thy agony of suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, as well as Thy agony
of humiliation in the Eucharist, and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother, a heartfelt sorrow for our
sins.
THE SECOND SORROWFUL MYSTERY - The Flagellation
O good Jesus! scourged and covered with wounds, the sins committed by men against the holy virtue of purity thus torture
Thy innocent flesh; and in the Blessed Sacrament impure hearts insult Thee by their sacrilegious communions.
O Thou bloody Victim, scourged at the pillar, patient Victim abused in the sacrament, we adore Thee and we beg
of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother, the grace of mortifying our senses.
THE THIRD SORROWFUL MYSTERY -The Crowning with Thorns
O King of glory! crowned with thorns and proclaimed in derision king of the Jews by brutal soldiers who ignominiously
spit upon Thy adorable face, Thou fallest a victim to the sins committed by pride; in the Blessed Sacrament also Thou
bearest a crown of ignominy made up of the many acts of irreverence, contempt, hypocrisy, and vanity committed by
Christians in Thy sanctuary.
O loving King! overwhelmed with insults both in Thy passion and in the sacred Host, we adore Thee and we beg
of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother, the grace of mortifying our self-love.
THE FOURTH SORROWFUL MYSTERY - The Carrying of the Cross
Curses, outrages, ill-treatments, anguish of heart, sufferings of all kinds, nothing can, O dear Redeemer, alter the mildness
and patience with which Thou carriest Thy heavy cross; with like sweetness and patience dost Thou bear in the long course
of the ages, doubts, want of confidence, murmurs, insults, discouragement on the part of Thy children.
O Jesus! we adore Thee carrying with love the cross prepared for Thee by Thy Father, and we beg of Thee, through
the intercession of Thy holy Mother, patience in the trials of this life.
THE FIFTH SORROWFUL MYSTERY - The Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord
O good and merciful Saviour! Thy love, more than iron nails, keeps Thee riveted to the cross whereon Thou atonest for our
sins in the midst of unspeakable torments; we find Thee also riveted by the same love in the Sacrament of the Altar,
continuing Thy sacrifice to the end of the ages in order to apply to us the fruits thereof.
Sweet Lamb, perpetually immolated for us, we adore Thee, and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy
holy Mother, such a hatred of sin as will make us prefer the death of the body to the staining of the soul.
THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
THE FIRST GLORIOUS MYSTERY - The Resurrection of Our Lord
O Christ Jesus! Thou comest forth glorious from the tomb, victorious over all infernal powers; henceforth sufferings and
death have lost their empire over Thy glorious humanity. What a consolation for us to know that, though confined to the
humble condition of Thy sacrament, Thou art in full possession of the life, joy, and glory of Thy resurrection!
We adore Thee, O immortal King of ages, and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother, a
lively and loving faith in Thy real and lifegiving presence in the Blessed Sacrament.
THE SECOND GLORIOUS MYSTERY - The Ascension
O divine Saviour! Thy triumph in this mystery has reached its perfection! By raising Thyself up to heaven through Thy own
power, Thou hast taken possession of Thy Kingdom, and Thou art seated at the right hand of Thy Father to be forever the
joy of the angels and saints. Every day also without quitting Thy throne Thou comest upon our altars, under the form of
bread, to bring us a foretaste of the heavenly beatitude.
O Thou, the delight of pure souls, we adore Thee and we beg of Thee, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother,
an ardent desire of possessing Thee here below under the eucharistic veils, and to possess Thee in heaven in the splendor of
Thy glory.
THE THIRD GLORIOUS MYSTERY - The Coming Down of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles
O Jesus, scarcely hadst Thou entered into Thy glory at the right hand of Thy Father, when Thou didst show Thy munificence
by sending forth the Holy Spirit with His many and various gifts to Thy growing Church. From the Eucharist, as if from
another heaven, wherein Thou hast set up Thy throne of love, Thou impartest to souls the spirit of life and strength, and
Thou kindlest in them the fire of Thy divine charity.
O Jesus, King in heaven, King also in the Eucharist, we adore Thee and we beg of Thee, through the intercession
of Thy holy Mother, fidelity to grace in order to reap all the fruits produced in the souls of men by the gifts of the Holy
Ghost.
THE FOURTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY - The Death and Assumption of Mary
O Jesus, no longer canst Thou leave here below Thy blessed Mother; already she heareth Thy voice calling her, and amid
the transports of an ineffable communion, love taketh away her soul from the land of exile. But her virginal body, like that
of her divine Son, must not know corruption; Thou raisest her from the dead, and, brilliant as the sun, she soars on angels'
wings to the seat of eternal glory.
O Jesus, our resurrection and our life, we adore Thee and we pray that, through the intercession of Thy holy Mother,
we may die in the arms of her who is also our own Mother, after having received in a fervent communion the pledge of our
glorious resurrection.
THE FIFTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY - The Crowning of Mary in Heaven
Divine Son of Mary, to make Thy holy Mother partaker of Thy own glory, Thou hast crowned her queen of heaven and
earth and appointed her our advocate and the living channel of Thy graces. From the Eucharist not less than from heaven,
Thou willest that every grace shall reach us through her maternal hands.
O Jesus, we adore Thee in Thy unspeakable glory, of which Thou hast made Thy Mother partake with Thee, and we beg of
Thee, through her intercession, a great confidence in her powerful protection and great earnestness in imitating her virtues;
in particular her purity, humility, and fidelity to grace.
