December is a month filled with anticipation, reflection, and joy, marking the sacred season of Advent – a time of profound spiritual preparation for the birth of Jesus. The Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary invite us to journey through the most intimate moments of Christ’s early life, guiding us to discover the deepest meaning of Christian joy. We warmly invite you to pray these mysteries alongside Holy Spirit Seminarians Gabriel, Sang, and Kalepo. Through this meditative prayer, we can deepen our connection to the true spirit of Christmas.

Hi, thank you for joining us for this rosary, The Joyful Mysteries. My name is Gabriel, this is Sang and Kalepo, and we are seminarians of Holy Spirit Seminary in Banyo. If you would kindly, enter a space of prayer. Go into the depths of your heart. Unite your voice with that of our Lord. And let us begin by praying this rosary.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
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; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will 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. Amen.
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.
For an increase in faith, hope and love.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail 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, Thy 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. 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 by meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. 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, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, our 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.
We pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be for the intentions of our Holy Father to gain the indulgence of this Rosary.
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.
