Welcome to your Tuesday Rosary. Today we walk the Way of the Cross through the Sorrowful Mysteries, uniting our daily struggles with the redemptive suffering of Christ.
Offer this Rosary for those who are suffering, for the strength to carry your own cross, and for the conversion of hearts...
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Introductory Prayers
In Gethsemane, Jesus felt the weight of the world's sins, yet He prayed even more fervently. We ask for the grace to turn to prayer first in our moments of anxiety, surrendering our will to the Father just as Christ did under the olive trees.
1 Our Father • 10 Hail Marys • 1 Glory Be
Every stripe Jesus bore was a testament to His love for us. We pray for the spirit of mortification—the ability to deny our own selfish impulses so that we may live more purely for God and for the service of others.
1 Our Father • 10 Hail Marys • 1 Glory Be
The King of Kings accepted a crown of mockery. We pray for moral courage—that we may stand up for our faith and for the truth, even when it leads to ridicule or social discomfort, trusting in God's eternal crown.
1 Our Father • 10 Hail Marys • 1 Glory Be
Jesus fell three times but always got back up to complete His mission. We ask for the gift of perseverance. When our burdens feel too heavy and we stumble, may we find the strength to rise again and keep walking toward Calvary.
1 Our Father • 10 Hail Marys • 1 Glory Be
"Father, forgive them." From the Cross, Jesus gave us the ultimate example of mercy. We pray for the grace to forgive those who have hurt us, releasing our resentment into His wounds so that we may find true peace.
1 Our Father • 10 Hail Marys • 1 Glory Be
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.
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.
