Blue Army Glorious Rosary
Blue Army Glorious Rosary is prayed in the Rosary Garden at the Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Washington, New Jersey — five mysteries of Christ's triumph, walked one station at a time under open sky and shade trees.
Take a moment of silence to bring your own personal intentions to the Lord before you begin.
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The 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 holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
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. 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. Amen.
3 Hail Marys
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. (Pray three times.)
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, 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 valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Prayer After the Rosary
O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.
V. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. R. Amen.
Medjugorje Experience Home
My heart was deeply moved praying the Luminous Rosary in Medjugorje — but the spirit of pilgrimage doesn't end when the plane lands. Right here in New Jersey, the National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Washington, NJ holds that same profound "Mir" (peace) I felt on Apparition Hill.
The Rosary Walk
The Shrine's Rosary Garden is a circular path through natural, park-like grounds where you can walk and meditate on the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries — station by station, under open sky and shaded trees. The physical act of walking each mystery makes something shift inside you, the same way the climb up Cross Mountain does. Less is more here. Just your beads and a heart ready to listen.
Tips Before You Go
Visit on a weekday morning when it is most quiet. They have a beautiful chapel and outdoor Masses in the warmer months — a little taste of that Medjugorje village feeling in the hills of Warren County.
From the stone paths of Bosnia to the garden walks of New Jersey, the Light of Christ is always waiting. I hope this helps you find your own local garden of peace.
