3. The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Sunday &
Wednesday)
"For the spirit that God has given you does not make
you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the spirit makes
you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to
God: Abba! Father! So God's Spirit joins himself to our spirit
to declare that we are God's children." [Rom.
8,15-16]
United in the Spirit of love, let us respect and serve Christ
in our brothers and sisters, and may he grant us the gift of
showing signs of his presence in us.
(on the large bead, and the others throughout the Rosary,
we recite the Our Father ) Our Father,
who art in heaven,...
(on each of the small beads of the decades of the Rosary,
we recite the Hail Mary ) Hail Mary, full
of grace,..... - (10x)
(at the end of each decade, we recite the Glory be to the Father)
Glory be to the Father,...
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of
hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who have most
need of your mercy.
A Short Hymn
Be with us Mary; along the way.,
Guide every step we take,
Lead, us to Jesus; your loving Son.,
Come with us Mary Come.
