FIRST MYSTERY: The Resurrection of Our Lord. In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And the angel answered and said unto the women: "Fear not ye! For I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here. For he is risen, as he said". (Mat 28,1-6)

SECOND MYSTERY: The Ascension of Our Lord. And as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, "Peace to you"; being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. And he said to them, "Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasoning's come up in your hearts? see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having." And having said this, he showed to them the hands and the feet. ... "And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye -- abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high." And he led them forth without -- unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them, and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven. (Luk 24,36-51)

THIRD MYSTERY: The Descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Act 2,1-4)

Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.

The Apostle's Creed (Other Version)
I BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of
Heaven and earth. I BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, God's
only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy
Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was
buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day
he arose 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 the life everlasting.
Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen
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 towards 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. Amen.
Let us pray. O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His
life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us
the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee,
that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most
Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may
imitate what they contain and obtain what they
promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
