54-Day Rosary Novena

Joyful Mysteries

Days 1–27 are prayed in petition. Present your intention with confidence.

Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail. I offer this crown of snow-white roses in petition, recalling your joys and begging your maternal intercession.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried;

he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead;

he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;

from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and life everlasting.

Amen.

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ.

Et in Iesum Christum, Fílium eius únicum, Dóminum nostrum,

qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,

passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus,

descéndit ad ínferos, tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis,

ascéndit ad cælos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis,

inde ventúrus est iudicáre vivos et mórtuos.

Credo in Spíritum Sanctum,

sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem,

remissiónem peccatórum,

carnis resurrectiónem,

vitam ætérnam.

Amen.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

To thee do we send up our sighs,

mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Turn then, most gracious advocate,

thine eyes of mercy toward us.

Amen.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things and desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Sweet Mother Mary, present my petition to your Son and obtain for me the grace I seek, if it be for God's glory and my salvation.
