PRAYERS: Prayers for the 4th Quarter 5 Glorious Mysteries The Resurrection of the Lord The Ascension into Heaven The Descent of The Holy Spirit The Assumption of Mary The Coronation of Mary The 5 Luminous Mysteries The Baptism in the Jordan The Wedding at Cana The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God The Transfiguration The Institution of the Eucharist Hail! Holy Queen Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope, to you we do cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you we do send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears; turn, then, most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your 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 promises of Christ.-----Amen Act of Contrition O My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, My God, who art all good and worthy of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy Grace, to confess my sins, do penance and amend my life.----Amen Magnificat My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, he has put down the might from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; he has filled the hungry with good things and the rich he has sent empty away. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.
