Joyful Mysteries
(Monday and Saturday)
The Annunciation
Mary is troubled by the angel’s greeting, yet rejoices to
Do God’s will. Let us pray that those who are troubled by
Their pregnancy may have the grace to trust in God’s will.
The Visitation
John the Baptist leapt for joy in his mother’s womb. We
Pray that people may realize that abortion is not about =
Children who “might” come into the world, but is about
Children who are already in the world, living and growing
In the womb, and are scheduled to be killed.
The Nativity
God Himself was born as a child. The greatness of a
Person does not depend on size, for the newborn King is
Very small. Let us pray for an end to prejudice against the
Tiny babies threatened by abortion.
The Presentation
The Child is presented in the Temple because the Child
belongs to God. Children are not the property of their
Parents, nor of the government. They - and we - belong to
God Himself.
The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
The boy Jesus was filled with wisdom, because He is God.
Let us pray that all people may see the wisdom of His
Teachings about the dignity of life, and may understand
That this teaching is not an opinion, but the truth.
Luminous Mysteries
(Thursdays)
Christ is Baptized in the Jordan
When Jesus is baptized, the Father’s voice is heard: “This is
My beloved Son.” All are called to become adopted sons and
Daughters of God through baptism. We pray that children
In the womb may be protected, so that they may be born
And welcomed into the Christian community by baptism.
Christ is made known at the Wedding of Cana
Jesus revealed His glory by the miracle at Cana. “The new
Couple was blessed not only with wine, but with faith in
Christ. Let us pray for strong marriages, rooted in the Lord,
And open to the gift of new life.
Christ proclaims the Kingdom and Calls All to Conversion
“Repent and believe the Good News.” Let us pray that these
First words of Jesus’ public ministry may be heard by all who
Have committed abortion. May they know that the Lord
Calls them to conversion, and may they experience life-giving,
Repentance.
The Transfiguration
Christ is transformed on the mountain, and the disciples see
His glory. May the eyes of all people be transformed, that
they may see each and every human life as a reflection of the
Glory of God Himself.
Jesus gives us the Eucharist
“This is My Body: given up for you.” The Eucharist teaches
Us how to live and how to love. Let us pray that parents who
Sacrifice their babies for the sake of themselves may learn
instead to put themselves aside for the sake of their babies.
Sorrowful Mysteries
(Tuesday and Fridays)
The Agony in the Garden
Let us pray for mothers and fathers who are in agony
Because they are tempted to abort a child. May they be
Given the good news that there are alternatives, and may
They make use of the help that is available.
The Scourging
As Christ’s flesh was torn by the instruments of those who
Scourged Him, so the bodies of babies in the womb are
Torn by the instruments of the abortionists. Let us pray
That abortionists may repent of these acts of child killing.
The Crowning With Thorns
Jesus suffered the pain of thorns in His head, and did so
Silently. We pray for the mothers and fathers of aborted
Children. So many of them suffer deep grief and regret
Over a choice they can never reverse. So many suffer in
Silence, because others tell them it’s no big deal.
The Carrying of the Cross
Jesus was not condemned by the power of wicked people.
He was condemned because of the silence of good people.
Silence always helps the oppressor, never the victim. Let us
Pray that we may never be silent about abortion, but rather
Will clearly speak up to save babies from death.
The Crucifixion
As we ponder the death of Christ, let us remember the
Many women who have died from so-called “safe, legal”
Abortions. Let us ask forgiveness and mercy for them.
May their memory save other women from making this
tragic mistake.
Glorious Mysteries
(Wed. And Sundays)
The Resurrection
Christ is Risen! By His Resurrection He has destroyed
The power of death, and therefore the power of abortion.
The outcome of the battle for Life has already been
decided: Life is victorious!. Let us pray that all pro-lifers
will spread this victory to every segment of our society.
The Ascension
By ascending to the Father’s throne, Christ takes our
Human nature, given to us in the womb, to the heights of
Heaven. He shows us that human beings are made to be
Raised to heaven, not thrown in the garbage. Let us pray
That the world may learn this truth and reject abortion.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Advocate: He pleads our cause,
For we cannot save ourselves. We pray that He will make
Us advocates for the babies, who cannot speak or write or
Not or protest or even pray.
The Assumption
The Blessed Virgin Mary was taken body and soul
Into heaven because she is the Mother of God. Mother
And child are united. The Assumption reminds us that
They belong together. We pray that society will see that
It cannot love women while killing their children, and
Cannot save children without helping their mothers. We
Pray that people will be touched by the pro-life question,
“Why can’t we love them both?”
The Coronation
Mary is the Queen of the Universe. The Church teaches
That she is the greatest creature, second only to God
Himself. The Church defends the dignity of women. We
Pray that people will understand that to be pro-life means
To be pro-woman, and that to be pro-woman demands
That we be pro-life.
