THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES
Prayer Intention:
GLORY BE
FATIMA PRAYER
Hail Blessed One, we offer to you this second mystery of joy for
the forgiveness of our sins and salvation of souls. With joyful
hearts, we surrender ourselves to your love. Please offer to God
our contrite hearts as we pray for all who live and work in
nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and hospitals, for the
elderly who cannot receive visits from family members, and that
during this time of fear and uncertainty, we keep in mind the
needs of our neighbors both near and far especially for the sick,
poor, homeless, hungry, and disenfranchised. May we, through
our faithful devotion to you, dear Mother, imitate you in
attending to the needs of others whether it may be physical,
emotional, or spiritual.
Amen.

HAIL MARY (x 10)
GLORY BE
FATIMA PRAYER
Prayer Intention:
Loving Mother of Jesus, we raise up to you this third mystery of
joy for all the children born into poverty and unhealthy and
unloving family situations. We implore you, inspire in our hearts
a fervent love for those who are suffering in anxiety and fear,
those who are quarantined and are struggling due to this
pandemic, as well as for those who are suffering because of
isolation or, on the opposite end, because of the close presence of
others.
Open our hearts so that we heed God’s call to not be afraid, that
we know we are never alone, that we rest our worries at the foot
of Jesus’ cross, and that we all accept faith over fear or anxiety. By
meditating in this mystery, O Most Holy Virgin Mary, may we
feel your warm embrace despite of the coldness of our welcome.
Amen.
OUR FATHER
FATIMA PRAYER
Prayer Intention:
Most Holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: by the
overwhelming grief you experienced like a sword being pierced
in your heart when you witnessed the crucifixion and death of
your Divine Son, look upon us with eyes of compassion as we
offer this fourth mystery of joy for those who are misguided in
darkness, for those families who are in sorrow due to the death of
their beloved, and for all the souls in purgatory. Please help them
find their way to heaven and present them to God. Mother of our
Savior, keep us close to you in every moment of our lives. Obtain
for us, your children, the grace of a happy death; so that in union
with you, we may enjoy the bliss of heaven forever.
Amen.
OUR FATHER
FATIMA PRAYER
O Mary, venerable treasure of the whole universe, support of the true faith,
indestructible temple, our Queen and our Mother, we fly to your motherly
care as we offer this fifth mystery of joy for the Body of Christ, the catholic
Church and for the intentions of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. May we
never tire or pull back in being the light of Jesus for others in our world.
We pray that every baptized person may be engaged in evangelization,
available to the mission, by being witnesses of a life that has the flavor of
the Gospel. Graciously hear also the intentions and prayers of the people
and families who are praying with us. Please whisper to God to grant us
assistance in our life, and other pursuits related to the redemption of our
souls. Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God better
and live not for ourselves but for Christ, your Son, so that we may all-
together be in our Father’s house. Amen.
