In the name of the Father,

And of the Son,

And of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I believe in God,

The Father Almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth,

And in Jesus Christ,

His only Son,

Our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

Born of the Virgin Mary,

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified,

Died,

And was buried.

He descended into hell,

And on the third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven,

And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

The Holy Catholic Church,

The communion of saints,

The forgiveness of sins,

The resurrection of the body,

And a life everlasting.

Amen.

Our Father,

Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,

And to the Son,

And to the Holy Spirit,

As it was in the beginning,

Is now,

And ever shall be,

World without end.

Amen.

The first sorrowful mystery,

The agony in the garden.

At Gethsemane,

Jesus prays as he contemplates the sins of the world.

Our Father,

Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

My only food is sighs,

And my groans pour out like water.

For me there is no calm,

No peace,

My torments banish rest.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Peter said,

Though all lose faith in you,

I will never lose faith.

Even if I have to die with you,

I will never disown you.

And all the disciples said the same.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Then Jesus came with them to a small estate called Gethsemane.

And he said to his disciples,

Stay here while I go over there to pray.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him,

And sadness came over him and great distress.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Then he said to them,

My soul is sorrowful to the point of death.

Wait here and keep awake with me.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

And going on a little further,

He fell on his face and prayed.

My Father,

He said,

If it is possible,

Let this cup pass me by.

Nevertheless,

Let it be as you,

Not I,

Would have it.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping.

And he said to Peter,

So you had not the strength to keep awake with me one hour,

You should be awake and praying not to be put to the test.

The spirit is willing,

But the flesh is weak.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Again,

A second time,

He went away and prayed.

And he came back again and found them sleeping.

Their eyes were so heavy.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Leaving them there,

He went away again and prayed for the third time.

Then he came back to the disciples and said to them,

You can sleep on now and take your rest.

Now the hour has come when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Get up,

Let us go.

My betrayer is already close at hand.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

O God,

Whose strength prevails over all,

Listen to the voice of the desperate and free me from my fear.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,

And to the Son,

And to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning,

Is now and ever shall be,

World without end.

Amen.

O my Jesus,

Forgive us our sins,

Save us from the fires of hell.

Lead all souls into heaven,

Especially those in most need of thy mercy.

Amen.

Hail Holy Queen,

Mother of mercy,

Hail our life,

Our sweetness and our hope.

To thee do we cry,

All banished children of Eve.

To thee do we send up our sighs,

Mourning and weeping in this veil of tears.

Turn then,

Most gracious Advocate,

Thine eyes of mercy towards us.

And after this,

Our exile,

Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

O clement,

O loving,

O sweet Virgin Mary,

Pray for us,

O Holy Mother of God,

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

O God,

Whose only begotten Son,

By his life,

Death and resurrection,

Has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life.

Grant,

We beseech you,

That meditating on these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,

We may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
