The Fifteen Virtues begged for with the 10 Hail Marys in each of the Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary
Our devotion is sometimes intensified if each decade is said for some particular intention. Such intentions are, of course, matter of private choice; but many will welcome the following suggestions. The first set is the Fifteen virtues while the second set of suggestions were given to us by Fr. Pere Monsabre, O.P., who for many years was the preacher at Notre Dame, Paris, on all great occasions
JOYFUL MYSTERIES 1. The Annunciation- Wisdom 2. The Visitation- Fraternal Charity 3. The Birth of Christ- Poverty of Spirit (Detachment) 4. The Presentation in the Temple- Spirit of Self-Sacrifice (Renunciation) 5. The Finding in the Temple- Obedience | SORROWFUL MYSTERIES 1. The Agony in the Garden- Courage (Fortitude) 2. The Scourging at the Pillar- Temperance & Purity 3. The Crowning with Thorns- Humility 4. The Carrying of the Cross- Patience and Perseverance 5. The Crucifixion- Contrition for Sins | GLORIOUS MYSTERIES 1. The Resurrection- Faith 2. The Ascension- Hope 3. The Descent of the Holy Ghost- Charity (Love of God) 4. The Assumption- Devotion to Mary 5. The Coronation (Crowning) of Mary- Final Perseverance (death in the state of grace) |
Fr. Pere Monsabre suggestions follow:
Some of the surprising ones and thought provoking ones - the Birth of Christ - Detachment from the world, The Resurrection = Hope, the Coronation of Mary = Death in the state of grace. I can hear my dad's voice leading our rosary each day! LOVE!

Heaven's Weapon- The Rosary
God Reveals Plan to Save the World
"The Rosary is the scourge of the devil"- Pope Adrian VI
"The Rosary is a treasure of graces"- Pope Paul V
"The Rosary is THE Weapon"- Padre Pio
In the year 1214 while St. Dominic was trying to convert sinners without success, Our Lady appeared to him, gave him the Rosary and taught him how to use it. Many miraculous conversions resulted.
Ventimiglia, the author of an ancient history of the Carmelite Order, revealed how God inspired St. Dominic to prophesy that some day the Blessed Mother would give us two devotions to be known as the Rosary and the Brown Scapular, "And one day, through the Rosary and the Scapular she would save the world."
A Command from Heaven
Love to see an Hallel Psalm of total praise today in mass readings! Psalm 149
Responsorial Psalm 149:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6a and 9b
R. (see 4a) The Lord takes delight in his people.
Sing to the LORD a new song
of praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel be glad in their maker,
let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.
R. The Lord takes delight in his people.
Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
For the LORD loves his people,
and he adorns the lowly with victory.
R. The Lord takes delight in his people.
Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing for joy upon their couches;
Let the high praises of God be in their throats.
This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia.
R. The Lord takes delight in his people.
A sure way to brighten our days and give us HOPE!
But Herod said, “John I beheaded.
Who then is this about whom I hear such things?”
And he kept trying to see him. Luke 9
