The Fifth Glorious Mystery: The
The Fifth Glorious Mystery: The Coronation of Mary
This mystery brings before us the beauty of the faithfulness of Mary, the first disciple of the Lord. She who referred to herself as the “handmaid of the Lord” is now exalted far above even the Angels. The one who said “yes” to God in all things is now the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Let us offer this decade, asking Mary for our Mothers living, to intercede on their behalf so that they may always remain faithful to their calling of motherhood and true to Our Lord. Let us offer this Rosary for our Mothers deceased, that their prayers and love from above will continue to cover us.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven especially
those in most need of thy mercy.
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor
banished children of Eve, 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; and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray
for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this
confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency
hear and answer me. Amen.
