Second Method
A SHORTER WAY
OF COMMEMORATING THE LIFE, DEATH AND GLORY OF JESUS AND MARY IN THE
MOST HOLY ROSARY, AND A WAY TO CURB OUR IMAGINATION AND TO LESSEN DISTRACTIONS
IN ORDER to do this we must add a word or two to each Hail Mary (depending upon
the decade) and
this will help remind us which mystery we are commemorating. This word or words
should be added
after the word "Jesus." "And blessed is the fruit of Thy Womb":
At the 1st
Decade "Jesus incarnate";
At the 2nd Decade
"Jesus sanctifying";
At the 3rd Decade
"Jesus born in poverty";
At the 4th Decade
"Jesus sacrificed";
At the 5th
Decade "Jesus, Saint among saints";
At the 6th Decade
"Jesus in His agony'';
At the 7th Decade
"Jesus scourged";
At the 8th Decade
"Jesus crowned with thorns";
At the 9th Decade
"Jesus carrying His Cross";
At the 10th Decade "Jesus
crucified";
At the 11th Decade "Jesus
risen from the dead";
At the 12th
Decade "Jesus ascending to heaven";
At the 13th Decade "Jesus
filling thee with the Holy Spirit";
At the 14th Decade "Jesus
raising Thee up";
At the 15th Decade
"Jesus crowning Thee."
At the end of the first
five mysteries, we say:
"Grace of the Joyful Mysteries come down into our souls and make them really
holy";
