I. Primum
Mysterium Gaudiosum: Annunciatio
(the Annunciation)
“26
In mense autem sexto, missus est angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem
Galilææ, cui nomen Nazareth. 27
Ad virginem desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David:
et nomen virginis Maria. 28
Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit: Ave gratia plena : Dominus tecum:
benedicta tu in mulieribus. 29
Quæ cum audisset, turbata est in sermone ejus, et cogitabat qualis esset
ista salutatio. 30
Et ait angelus ei: Ne timeas, Maria : invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum.
31
Ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum:
32
Hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur, et dabit illi Dominus
Deus sedem David patris ejus: et regnabit in domo Jacob in æternum,
33
et regni ejus non erit finis.” (Sancte Lucae 1.26-33)
Pater noster,
Qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen Tuum;
adveniat regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
(Decies repetita: Repeat each “Ave Maria”
10 times):
Ave Maria,
gratia plena,
Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc,
et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
(optional)
O
Bone Jesu,
libera nos a peccatis nostris; libera nos ab ignibus gehennae; perduc
in paradisum omnes animas praesertim eas quae plus misericordia tua
indigent.
II. Secundum Mysterium Gaudiosum:
Visitatio
(the Visitation)
“39
Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis, abiit in montana cum festinatione,
in civitatem Juda: 40
Et intravit in domum Zachariæ, et salutavit Elisabeth.
41 Et factum
est, ut audivit salutationem Mariæ Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero
ejus: et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth:
42 Et exclamavit
voce magna, et dixit: Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus
ventris tui. 43
Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me?
44
Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuæ in auribus meis, exsultavit
in gaudio infans in utero meo.” (Sancte Lucae 1.39-44)
Pater noster,
Qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen Tuum;
adveniat regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
(Decies repetita: Repeat each “Ave Maria”
10 times):
Ave Maria,
gratia plena,
Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc,
et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
(optional)
O
Bone Jesu,
libera nos a peccatis nostris; libera nos ab ignibus
gehennae; perduc in paradisum omnes animas praesertim eas quae plus
misericordia tua indigent.
III.
Tertium Mysterium Gaudiosum:
Nativitas
(the Nativity, the Birth of Jesus)
“15
Et factum est, ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in cælum : pastores loquebantur
ad invicem: Transeamus usque Bethlehem, et videamus hoc verbum, quod
factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nobis.
16 Et venerunt
festinantes: et invenerunt Mariam, et Joseph, et infantem positum in
præsepio. 17
Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de puero
hoc. 18
Et omnes qui audierunt, mirati sunt: et de his quæ dicta erant a pastoribus
ad ipsos. 19
Maria autem conservabat omnia verba hæc, conferens in corde suo.
20
Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum in omnibus
quæ audierant et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.” (Sancte
Lucae 2.15-20)
Pater noster,
Qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen Tuum;
adveniat regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
(Decies repetita: Repeat each “Ave Maria”
10 times):
Ave Maria,
gratia plena,
Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc,
et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
(optional)
O
Bone Jesu,
libera nos a peccatis nostris; libera nos ab ignibus
gehennae; perduc in paradisum omnes animas praesertim eas quae plus
misericordia tua indigent.
IV. Quartum Mysterium Gaudiosum: Presentatio
(the Presentation in the Temple)
“29
Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
30
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum.
31 Quod parasti ante faciem
omnium populorum: 32
lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuæ Israël.
33 Et
erat pater ejus et mater mirantes super his quæ dicebantur de illo.
34
Et benedixit illis Simeon, et dixit ad Mariam matrem ejus: Ecce positus
est hic in ruinam et in resurrectionem multorum in Israël, et in signum
cui contradicetur: 35
Et tuam ipsius animam pertransibit gladius ut revelentur ex multis cordibus
cogitationes.” (Sancte Lucae 2.29-35)
Pater noster,
Qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen Tuum;
adveniat regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
(Decies repetita: Repeat each “Ave Maria”
10 times):
Ave Maria,
gratia plena,
Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc,
et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
(optional)
O
Bone Jesu,
libera nos a peccatis nostris; libera nos ab ignibus
gehennae; perduc in paradisum omnes animas praesertim eas quae plus
misericordia tua indigent.
V. Quintum
Mysterium Gaudiosum: Inventio in Templo
(the Finding in the Temple)
“41
Et ibant parentes
ejus per omnes annos in Jerusalem, in die solemni Paschæ.
42 Et
cum factus esset annorum duodecim, ascendentibus illis Jerosolymam secundum
consuetudinem diei festi, 43
consummatisque diebus, cum redirent, remansit puer Jesus in Jerusalem,
et non cognoverunt parentes ejus.
44 Existimantes autem illum esse
in comitatu, venerunt iter diei, et requirebant eum inter cognatos et
notos. 45
Et non invenientes, regressi sunt in Jerusalem,
requirentes eum. 46
Et factum est, post triduum invenerunt illum in templo sedentem in medio
doctorum, audientem illos, et interrogantem eos.
47 Stupebant
autem omnes qui eum audiebant, super prudentia et responsis ejus.
48
Et videntes admirati sunt. Et dixit mater ejus ad illum: Fili, quid
fecisti nobis sic? ecce pater tuus et ego dolentes quærebamus te.
49
Et ait ad illos: Quid est quod me quærebatis? nesciebatis quia in his
quæ Patris mei sunt, oportet me esse ?
50 Et ipsi
non intellexerunt verbum quod locutus est ad eos.
51 Et descendit cum eis, et venit
Nazareth: et erat subditus illis. Et mater ejus conservabat omnia verba
hæc in corde suo. 52
Et Jesus proficiebat sapientia, et ætate, et gratia apud Deum et homines.”
(Sancte Lucae 2.41-52)
Pater
noster,
Qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen Tuum;
adveniat regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
(Decies repetita: Repeat each “Ave Maria”
10 times):
Ave Maria,
gratia plena,
Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
Gloria Patri,
et Filio,
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc,
et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
(optional)
O
Bone Jesu,
libera nos a peccatis nostris; libera nos ab ignibus gehennae; perduc
in paradisum omnes animas praesertim eas quae plus misericordia tua
indigent.
Salve,
Regina,
Mater misericordiae!
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exules filii Evae.
Ad te suspiramus,
gementes, et flentes, in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria!
Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genetrix,
Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
Oremus:
Gratiam tuam quaesumus, Domine,
mentibus nostris infunde, ut qui,
angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui
incarnationem cognovimus
per passionem eius et crucem,
ad resurrectionem gloriam perducamur,
per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
In
nomine Patris,
et Filii,
et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen.

Readers’ Responses:
It is always a pleasure for
the Boston Catholic Journal to receive letters, especially from young
men and women. With gratitude we reprint the following letters:
|
Dear Senior Editor,
Boston Catholic Journal
I am writing you this letter so that you may know that no
good deeds go unnoticed in the eyes of God. I have listened
to the audio files on your website and I want to tell you
that your whole team working at The Boston Catholic Journal
did an excellent job not only with the one-hundred and fifty
Psalms, but also with the Holy Rosary (it is especially
helpful with the Rosary that the reader is able to follow
along on the same page, and I do understand how there is
a link which one can go to in order to follow along with
the psalms as well).
As far a sound quality goes,
after listen to about twelve-fifteen Psalms ranging from
the first Psalm all the way to the last one, the sound quality
is not only consistent but at the same time sharp and clear.
The speaker does a good job of speaking at a steady pace
in order that the listener may be able to follow along as
well as reflect on that particular Psalm.
In an era where the classics
and everything associated with it is slowly fading away,
it is refreshing to not only see, but to hear what our fathers
heard growing up and what their father’s heard, back to
the time of the Roman Republic.
In this season of Lent, many
people seem to get lost in its intended purpose of preparing
for Easter ...with worrying about getting their ashes (solely
for the purpose of just wearing them in public so people
can see they are a “good” Catholic), or what they are going
to give up for Lent—like their large ice coffee everyday—when
the truth of the matter is none of that stuff (giving up
coffee, chocolate, etc) is going to bring you closer to
God.
I personally tend to look
at Lent not so much of what you can “give up” but more of
what you can “give”: one can give more time to God
by going Church a couple days a week, or give more time
to praying in the morning as well as at night; you can give
your attention to people who are in need. Or as pertaining
to your website, you can give the time it takes to listen
to four Psalms a day and be done with all of them just in
time for Easter.
I do understand the concept
of self-discipline and giving up things that you find enjoyable
or pleasing but, I just believe that God would find an increase
prayer time and time of self reflection more pleasing to
him than giving up soda for Lent (especially since the only
reason you gave up soda was that you wanted to lose ten
pounds during Lent and it has nothing to do with self-discipline).
Your website has provided
many people the opportunity to prepare and cleanse themselves
throughout the duration of Lenten season and in essence
bring them closer to Christ which is what Lent is really
all about.
I hope you and your
team of men at The Boston Catholic Journal keep up the good
work. For there is no greater gift than to bring someone
closer to Christ, especially since if you take one step
towards Christ…he takes two steps towards you. So because
of you many people are taking the step in the right direction,
towards God.
Thank you again,
God Bless.

Editor, Boston Catholic Journal
Dear Mr. Editor,
I have long since 'Bookmarked ' the Boston Catholic Journal
as I am so interested in the audio files that you offer
for downloads on site.
I always think that the layout of the Boston Journal is
so easy to navigate, and indeed the 'Free Disc" that you
sent to me some time ago has been much used and appreciated.
The voice files of the psalms have helped me greatly to
appreciate the beauty of Latin and they are read so prayerfully,
and in a way I can enter into, thank you for the hours of
devotion you must have put into the project.
But I am particularly interested in the wonderful presentation
of the Rosary in Latin, it is so prayerful, thank you so
much — especially the ' Luminous Mysteries ', many religious
sites on the net have the Regular mysteries but far fewer
the Mysteries of Light.
The reader of the Rosary has such a good voice, well metered,
and so prayerful, I can think of many sick people who would
derive great comfort to pray along with these audio's, so
thank you for all your time.
Please extend my gratitude to your staff, I see your site
is dedicated to Mary, well she has certainly blessed the
work of your hands and lips.
Thank you.
God bless you
A. E. I. M. E.
