LONGER VERSION WITH MEDITATIONS
 

THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES   Prayer before the Recitation: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Then say: Hail Mary. In Petition Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail! At thy feet I humbly kneel to offer thee a Crown of Roses-----snow white buds to remind thee of thy joys-----each bud recalling to thee a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace. O Holy Queen, dispenser of God's graces, and Mother of all who invoke thee! Thou canst not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As thou receivest my gift, so wilt thou receive my petition; from thy bounty thou wilt give me the favor I so earnestly and trustingly seek. I despair of nothing that I ask of thee. Show thyself my Mother! In Thanksgiving Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail! At thy feet I gratefully kneel to offer thee a Crown of Roses-----snow white buds to remind thee of thy joys-----each bud recalling to thee a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace. O Holy Queen, dispenser of God's graces, and Mother of all who invoke thee! Thou canst not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As thou receivest my gift, so wilt thou receive my thanksgiving; from thy bounty thou hast given me the favor I so earnestly and trustingly sought. I despaired not of what I asked of thee, and thou hast truly shown thyself my Mother. Creed, Our Father, 3 Haily Marys, Glory Be to the Father.

I THE ANNUNCIATION Sweet Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel appeared to thee with the tidings that thou wert to become the Mother Of God; greeting thee with that sublime salutation, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee!" and thou didst humbly submit thyself to the will of the Father, responsing: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Thy word," I humbly pray: Our Father, 10 Haily Marys, Glory Be to the Father.   and the FATIMA DECADE PRAYER: O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy. I bind these snow-white buds with a petition for the virtue of HUMILITY and humbly lay this bouquest at thy feet.

Forward takes you to the second meditation of the Joyful Mysteries.
