Optional Opening Prayer: The Vitis Mystica Prayer of St. Bernard
O GOOD Jesus, true Vine, and Tree of life which is planted in the midst of Paradise!
Lord Jesus Christ, whose leaves are for healing, and whose fruit is unto life everlasting!
Thou Blessed Flower and Fruit of Thy most pure Virgin Mother, without whom none is wise, for Thou art the Wisdom of the eternal Father!
Father, vouchsafe to refresh my weak and barren mind with the bread of understanding and the water of wisdom; that by Thy opening, O Key of David, things which are hidden may be revealed to me and by Thy shining, O Divine Light, things which are dark may be made clear; so that through me, Thy humble servant, by Thine own manifestation and lightening, both we who speak and they who hear may together have eternal life.
AMEN.

Apostles Creed
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;
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 resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

Scriptural Rosary of the Glorious Mysteries
First Glorious Mystery
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
The mystery of Christ’s resurrection is a real event, with manifestations that were historically verified, as the New Testament bears witness. In about A.D. 56 St. Paul could already write to the Corinthians: “I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. . .” The Apostle speaks here of the living tradition of the Resurrection which he had learned after his conversion at the gates of Damascus. (CCC 639).
Our Father
℣. Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is at work with the Father and the Son from the beginning to the completion of the plan for our salvation. But in these “end times,” ushered in by the Son’s redeeming Incarnation, the Spirit is revealed and given, recognized, and welcomed as a person. Now can this divine plan, accomplished in Christ, the firstborn, and head of the new creation, be embodied in mankind by the outpouring of the Spirit: as the Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Fourth Glorious Mystery
Mary is Assumed into Heaven
After her Son’s Ascension, Mary “aided the beginnings of the Church by her prayers.” In her association with the apostles and several women, “we also see Mary by her prayers imploring the gift of the Spirit, who had already overshadowed her in the Annunciation.” Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son’s Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians. (CCC 965-966).
