We present you with two ways

of praying the Holy Rosary in Latin:

 

 

This PRESENT page contains the FIVE JOYFUL MYSTERIES.

Immediately below are links to pages containing the remaining TWO Mysteries:
 

 

  • (Or you can listen to (pray along with) the Five Sacred Mysteries of the Holy Rosary on:  Youtube for Rosary in Latin  Youtube)

 

 

This is perhaps the simplest way to understand the Holy Rosary:
 

THE ROSARY consists of:

  • THREE MYSTERIES that are each divided into:

  • FIVE distinct episodes in the lives of Jesus and Mary.

  • Each episode is a meditation —  accompanied by praying ten Hail Marys.

     

  • The Joyful Mysteries (5 decades) below, begins with the First Mystery of the Joyful Mysteries (Mysteria Gaudiosa):

  • The Glorious Mysteries (5 decades)

  • The Sorrowful Mysteries (5 decades)

 The Annunciation    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.

Dominus tecum;

“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.

The Nativity - the Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ    III. Tertium Mysterium Gaudiosum: Nativitas (the Nativity, the Birth of Iesus)

“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.

  The Presentation in the Temple  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.

The Finding in the Temple    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 Iesus 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 Iesus 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, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,

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.
