Song to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, I need you

Come, Holy Spirit, I pray.

Come with Your strength and your power;

Come in Your own special way.

Come like a spring in the desert,

Come to the withered of soul.

Lord, with your sweet healing power,

Touch me and make me whole.

Pearls before the Lord

This is a mountain-moving rosary because it takes the loving intercession of the Blessed Mother, adds to it the powerful
words of Jesus, and the inspired words of the Holy Spirit spoken through the prophets and saints. As you pray it over and
over, your faith builds and miracles will happen. Mountains in your life will be moved and thrown into the sea. So let us
begin:

I believe in God,

The Father Almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth,

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,

Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,

Born of the Virgin Mary,

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, died and was buried;

He descended into hell;

On the third day He rose again;

He ascended into heaven,

And is seated at the right hand of the Father;

He will come again 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.

“Indeed, God’s Word is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword.” (Hebrews 4:12)

Our Father …

“From the cross Jesus said to his Mother, ‘Woman, there is your son.’ In turn, He said to the disciple, ‘There is your
mother.’ ” (John 19:26-27)

We pray:

Hail Mary… (3 times)

“Jesus said, ‘Believe me, if you trust and do not falter and you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the
sea.’ even that will happen. You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

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 are in most
need of. Your mercy.

3. The Scriptural Rosary is led by different members.

First Luminous Mystery

Jesus’ Baptism in the Jordan

“As soon as Jesus was baptized, He came up out of the water. Then Heaven was opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of
God coming down like a dove and lighting on Him. Then a voice said from Heaven, “This is my own dear Son, with whom
I am pleased.”” (Matthew 3:16-17)

The Father declared Jesus as His beloved Son during His baptism. During our baptism, the Father also declares us as His
beloved children. Through the Son, we are his adopted, heirs to the glorious life in heaven. And we live this dignity by
imitating Jesus. Let us pray for the grace of perseverance.

Our Father…

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing on high in
Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“I wish, then, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up pure hands, without wrath and contention.” (1 Timothy 2:8)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no
change, nor shadow of alteration.” (James 1:13)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for salvation, which is ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1
Peter 1:5)

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love than this no one has, that one
lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do the things I command you.” (John 15:12)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“More than anything else, however, we want to please Him, whether in our home here or there. For all of us must
appear before Christ, to be judged by Him. We will receive what we deserve, according to everything we have done,
good or bad, in our bodily life.” (2 Corinthians 5:9-10)

Glory be to the Father…

“Jesus said, ‘Believe me, if you trust and do not falter and you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the
sea.’ even that will happen. You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Oh, my Jesus…

Second Luminous Mystery

Jesus’ Self-manifestation at the Wedding Feast of Cana

“When the wine had given out, Jesus’ Mother said to Him, “They are out of wine.” “You must not tell me what to do,”
Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” Jesus’ Mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” The Jews have
rules about ritual washing, and for this purpose six stone water jars were there, each one large enough to hold between
twenty and thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill these jars with water.” They filled them to the brim, and then
He told them, “Now draw some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” They took him the water, which
had now turned into wine, and he tasted it. He did not know where this wine had come from (but, of course, the
servants who had drawn out the water knew); so he called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone else serves the
best wine first, and after the guests have drunk a lot, he serves the ordinary wine. But you have kept the best wine until
now!” (John 2:3-10)

Mary interceded for the newlywed couple and so Jesus transformed water into wine which enabled the celebration to
continue. This miracle happened because people, as Mary recommended, followed Jesus’ instruction. Let us pray for the
gift of discernment, that we may strive to discover and follow God’s will.

Our Father…

“I too strive to have a clear conscience before God and before men.” (Acts 24:16)

(Galatians 1:6)

“Brothers, do not speak against one another. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the
law and judges the law.” (James 4:11)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life; and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life.”

“Peter said: Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. And now we believe and know that
you are the Holy One who has come from God.” (John 6:68-69)

Glory be to the Father…

“Jesus said, ‘Believe me, if you trust and do not falter and you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the
sea.’ even that will happen. You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Oh, my Jesus…
Third Luminous Mystery

Jesus’ Proclamation of God’s Kingdom with His Call for Conversion

“Jesus went all over Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the Good News about the Kingdom, and healing
people who had all kinds of disease and sickness. The news about Him spread through the whole country of Syria, so
that people were brought to Him all those who were sick, suffering from all kinds of diseases and disorders; people with
demons, and epileptics, and paralytics – and Jesus healed them all.” (Matthew 4:23-24)

By His preaching and miracles, Jesus proclaimed God’s kingdom, working for conversion by welcoming sinners in His fold
and forgiving their sins. Let us pray that we too may experience repentance and Jesus’ forgiving presence.

Our Father…

“Now we know that for those who love God all things work together unto good, for those who according to His purpose,
are saints through His call.” (Romans 8:28)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Thus do you consider yourselves also as dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 6:11)

nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:39-41)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“For God has made all people prisoners of disobedience, so that He might show mercy to them all.” (Romans 11:32)

Glory be to the Father…

“Jesus said, ‘Believe me, if you trust and do not falter and you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the
sea.’ even that will happen. You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Oh, my Jesus…

Fourth Luminous Mystery

The Transfiguration of Jesus

“As they looked on, a change came over Jesus, and His clothes became shining white – whiter than anyone in the world
could wash them. Then the three disciples saw Elijah and Moses talking to Jesus. Peter spoke up and said to Jesus,
“Teacher, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He
and the others were so frightened that he did not know what to say. Then a cloud appeared and covered them with its
shadow, and a voice came from the cloud, “This is My own dear Son – listen to Him!”” (Mark 9:2-7)

Jesus takes three of His Apostles on a mountain and is transfigured before them, giving them an experience of His Glory
of His Resurrection. But the road to this glory is His passion and death. Let us pray for the gift of endurance in our trials
and sufferings.

Our Father…
“Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against
the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16-17)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Indeed I am hard pressed from both sides – desiring to depart and to be with Christ, a lot far better, yet to stay on in
the flesh is necessary for your sake.” (Philippians 1:23)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Do not therefore be ashamed of testimony for our Lord, nor of me, His prisoner, but enter into my sufferings for the
gospel through the power of God.” (2 Timothy 1:8)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Put on therefore as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience.
Bear with one another and forgive one another.” (Colossians 3:12)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“So then brothers stand firm and hold the teachings that you have learned, whether by word or by letter of ours.” (2
Thessalonians 2:15)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of His Mighty Power. Put on all the armor that God
gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil’s evil tricks. For we are not fighting against human beings
but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.

So stand ready with truth as belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, and as your shoes the
readiness to announce the Good News of Peace. At all times, carry faith as shield; for with it you will be able to put out
all the burning arrows of the Evil One. And accept salvation as a helmet, and the Word of God as the sword the Spirit
gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God’s help.” (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Glory be to the Father…

“Jesus said, ‘Believe me, if you trust and do not falter and you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the
sea.’ even that will happen. You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Oh, my Jesus…

Fifth Luminous Mystery

Jesus’ Institution of the Eucharist

“Then He took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it to them saying, “This is My Body, which is given
for you. Do this in memory of me.” In the same way, He gave them the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is God’s new
covenant sealed with my blood, which is poured out for you; poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Luke
22:19-20; Matthew 26:26-28)

Christ initiated the Eucharist during Holy Thursday, offering His body and blood as food under the signs of bread and
wine, asking us to do this in remembrance of Him. Let us pray that the Eucharist may become the center of our lives as
we draw from it our daily spiritual sustenance.

Our Father…

“And they continued steadfastly in the teaching of the apostles and in the communion of the breaking of the bread and
in the prayers… And all who believed were together and held all things in common…” (Acts 2:42-44)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Charity is patient, is kind; charity does not envy, is not pretentious, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, is not self-seeking,
is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice over wickedness but rejoices with the truth…” (1 Corinthians 13:8-9)
Hail Mary… (2 times)

“For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, many as they are, form one body, so
also is it with Christ.” (1 Corinthians 1:12)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“As obedient children, do not conform to the lusts of former days when you were ignorant; but as the One who called
you is holy, be you holy also in your behavior.” (1 Peter 1:14-15)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“Before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that the hour had come for Him to pass out of this world to the Father,
having loved His own who were in the world, loved them to the end.” (John 13:1)

Hail Mary… (2 times)

“In the beginning the Word already existed: the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through Him God created
all things, not one thing in all creation was made without Him. The Word was the source of Life, and this Life brought
Light to the people. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out… The Word became a Human
Being and full of Grace and Truth, lived among us.” (John 1:1-5, 14)

“Then the Devil came to Him and said, “If you are God’s Son, order these stones to turn into bread.” But Jesus answered,
“The Scripture says, “Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.”” (Matthew 4:3-
4)

“Jesus said to them,”I am telling you the truth: if you do not eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you will
not have life in yourselves. Those who eat My Flesh and drink My Blood will have Eternal Life, and I will raise them to life
on the last day. For my Flesh is the Real Food, My Blood is the Real Drink. Those who eat My Flesh and drink My Blood
live in me, and I Live in them. The Living Father sent me and because of Him I live also. In the same way, whoever eats
me will live because of me. This, then, is the bread that came down from Heaven; it is not like the bread that your
ancestors ate, but then later died. Those who eat this Bread will live forever.” Jesus said this as He taught in the
synagogue at Capernaum.” (John 6:53-59)

Glory be to the Father…

“Jesus said, ‘Believe me, if you trust and do not falter and you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the
sea.’ even that will happen. You will receive all that you pray for, provided you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

Oh, my Jesus…
