Como Rezar el Rosario en Ingles

El propósito del Rosario es ayudar a recordar ciertos hechos principales de la historia de nuestra salvación. Hay veinte misterios reflejados en el Rosario, y estos se dividen en los cinco Misterios Gozosos (dichos el lunes y sábado), los cinco Misterios Luminosos (dichos el jueves), los cinco Misterios Dolorosos (dichos los martes y viernes), y los cinco misterios gloriosos (dichos el miércoles y el domingo). Como excepción, los Misterios Gozosos pueden decirse los domingos durante el Adviento y Navidad, mientras que los Misterios Dolorosos pueden decirse los domingos de Cuaresma.

A veces se pregunta por qué, de todos los incidentes en la vida de nuestro Señor, el Rosario solo considera estos veinte en particular. Los misterios del Rosario se basan en los incidentes de la vida de Nuestro Señor y Su Madre que se celebran en la Liturgia. Existe un paralelo entre las principales fiestas en honor a nuestro Señor y su Madre en el año litúrgico y los veinte misterios del Rosario. En consecuencia, quien reza los veinte misterios del Rosario en un día reflexiona sobre todo el ciclo litúrgico que la Iglesia conmemora durante el transcurso de cada año. Por eso algunos Papas se han referido al Rosario como un compendio del Evangelio. No se pueden cambiar los misterios del Rosario sin perder las indulgencias que la Iglesia concede para el rezo del Rosario.

Step 1: The Sign of the Cross

Holding the rosary in your hands, make the sign of the cross (presign yourself) on your forehead, then on your mouth, and finally on your chest by repeating the following prayer:

“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.”

Step 2: Apostles Creed

Once you have made the sign of the cross, you will read the apostles creed while taking the cross in your hands. Aside from reading the Apostles Creed, it is optional that you read an act of contrition.

• 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; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence 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.”
• Act of Contrition
  “My Lord Jesus Christ, God and true Man, my Creator, Father and Redeemer; because you are who you are, infinite goodness, and because I love you above all things, I regret with all my heart that I have offended you; It also weighs on me because you can punish me with the penalties of hell. Helped by your divine grace, I firmly propose never to sin again, confess and fulfill the penance that will be imposed on me. Amen“

Step 3: Holy Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be

With the rosary in your hands, you will continue with the first bead, which is read using the first five points of the rosary. The Hail Mary tradition stems from a way in which believers increase their faith, their hope, and also their charity.

• First point: Our Father
• Second point: A Hail Mary
• Third point: A Hail Mary
• Fourth point: A Hail Mary
• Fifth point: Glory Be

Our Father
“Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.”

Hail Mary
“Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art  thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary,
Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen”

Glory Be
“Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

Step 4: First Mistery

After the Glory Be, the first mystery is read followed by our Father. In total, five mysteries will be read. The mysteries, which are a total of twenty, symbolize the life of Jesus and Mary and five of them are read depending on the day of the week. Following is the guide to which mysteries are read every day:

Joyful Mysteries (Mondays and Saturdays)

First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation 

The time for the Incarnation is at hand.
Of all women God prepared Mary from her conception to be the Mother of the Incarnate Word.
The Angel Gabriel announces: “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee.”
Mary wonders at this salutation.
The Angel assures her: “Fear not . . . you shall conceive in your womb, and give birth to a Son.”
Mary is troubled for she has made a vow of virginity.
The Angel answers that she will conceive by the power of the Holy Spirit, and her Son will be called the Son of God.
The Incarnation awaits Mary’s consent.
Mary answers: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to your word.”
The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation

“Joseph and Mary go to Bethlehem to comply with the decree of Caesar Augustus.
The hour for Mary to give birth is near, but there is no room in the inn.
In the stillness of the night, the Savior is born in a cave, Mary remaining a Virgin.
She wraps Him in swaddling clothes and lays Him in a manger.
In unspeakable joy Mary gathers to her bosom the Flower of her virginity.
Jesus enters the world in poverty to teach the lesson of detachment from earthly things.
The angel announces to the shepherds: “Today there is born to you in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord.”
The angelic chorus sing: “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth.”

Fourth Joyful Mystery: The Presentation

“When the day came to purify them according to the law of Moses, the couple brought Him up to Jerusalem so that He could be presented to the Lord, for it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every first-born male shall be consecrated to the Lord.‘” – Luke 2: 22-23.

Fifth Joyful Mystery: Finding Jesus in the Temple

When Jesus is twelve years old, He goes with His parents to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover.
After the feast of the Passover, Joseph and Mary unknowingly set out for Nazareth without Jesus.
At the end of the first day’s journey they discover Jesus is missing.
His parents return immediately looking for Him.
This loss causes grief and anxiety beyond our understanding to the hearts of Mary and Joseph.
On the third day, they find Jesus in the Temple among the Doctors who were astonished at His wisdom.
Mary: “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been searching for You in sorrow.”
Jesus: “Why did you search for Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
Jesus goes down with them to Nazareth, and is subject to them.
Mary keeps all these things in her heart.

Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesdays and Fridays)

First Sorrowful Mystery: Agony in the Garden 

Jesus comes with his disciples to Gethsemani: “Stay here, while I go yonder and pray.”
Entering the garden with Peter, James, and John, Jesus prays, “My soul is sorrowful unto death.”
Jesus sees the sins of all mankind, whose guilt He has taken upon Himself.
He sees the wrath of the Father which His sufferings must appease.
So great is his anguish that His sweat becomes as drops of blood falling to the ground.

“Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet, not My will but Yours be done.”
Finding the disciples asleep: “Could you not watch one hour with me?”

Father, by the merits of the agony of Jesus in the Garden, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they struck him in the face.
Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”
The Jews insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.” When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
“Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.” (John:19)

Third Sorrowful Mystery: Crowning with Thorns.

“They stripped off His clothes and wrapped Him in a scarlet military cloak. Weaving a crown out of thorns they fixed it on His head, and stuck a reed in His right hand….” – Matthew 27:28-29.

The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery – Carrying of the Cross

One condemned to death by crucifixion is forced to carry the cross to the place of execution.
The suffering of Jesus is intense as the cross is laid on His bruised and wounded back and shoulders.
Weak and exhausted from loss of blood, lack of food and rest, Jesus falls three times under the cross.
Jesus meets His afflicted Mother causing untold anguish in the Hearts of Son and Mother.
The countenance of Jesus is disfigured with blood and sweat, with dust and spittle.
Veronica wipes His face, leaving on her towel the image of His countenance.
Fearing that Jesus might die on the way, the soldiers force Simon of Cyrene to carry the cross behind Jesus.
Jesus speaks to weeping women: “Weep not for Me, but for yourselves and your children.”
“If anyone is to be My disciple, let him take up his cross and follow Me.”
Father, by the merits of this painful journey to Calvary, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Cruxification 

As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’” Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the Jews.

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
