The Rosary is made up of twenty "mysteries" (significant events or moments in the life of Jesus and Mary), which, following the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, are grouped into four series. This is The Third Glorious Mystery - The Descent of the Holy Spirit. Listen for divine connection to Our Lord and Our Lady. The Mystery is accompanied by sacred harp music. God bless you all, dear friends. Image by Mateus Campos Felipe, with thanks.

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,

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 Third Glorious Mystery.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit.

As Jesus promised,

The Holy Spirit comes down from heaven upon Mary and the apostles.

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.

I have come to bring fire to the earth,

And how I wish it were blazing already.

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.

I still have many things to say to you,

But they would be too much for you now.

But when the Spirit of truth comes,

He will lead you to the complete truth.

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.

It is not you who will be speaking,

The Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you.

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.

The Spirit of the Lord,

A Spirit of wisdom and insight,

A Spirit of counsel and power,

A Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

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.

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you,

And then you will be my wife.

You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now,

And at the hour of our death.

The apostles joined in continuous prayer together with Mary,

The mother of Jesus.

When Pentecost day came round,

They had all met in one room.

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.

Suddenly,

They heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven,

The noise of which filled the entire house.

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.

Something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire.

These separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.

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.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit,

And began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech.

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.

You take back your spirit,

And they die,

Returning to the dust from which they came.

You send forth your spirit,

They are created,

And you renew the face of the earth.

Hail Mary,

Full of grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Jesus.

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 to 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,

Poor 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 most 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 be blessed may both imitate what they contain,

And obtain what they promise.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

In the name of the Father,

And of the Son,

And of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
