Luminous Mysteries

Usually prayed on Thursdays

Opening Prayers

  1. Make the Sign of the Cross
  2. 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;
    the third day He arose again from the dead;
    He ascended into heaven,
    and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
    from thence He shall 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.
  3. Our Father for the Holy Father's intentions:
    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.
