A'CHONAIR MHOIRE/ THE ROSARY

The Rosary is an extremely popular devotion with Catholics. It has a very long, very varied and very complicated history. It is both a vocal and mental prayer. It consists of 15 decades of Hail Marys, each decade preceded by an Our Father and a Glory be to the Father and accompanied by a meditation called a mystery. The 15 mysteries focus on the Incarnation, the suffering of Christ and glorification of Christ. They are a compendium of the life and work of Jesus and a summary of the Liturgical year. Nowadays the Rosary is divided into 3 parts each containing 5 decades and it is the custom to pray only one part at a time. The three parts are the Joyful mysteries, the Sorrowful mysteries and the Glorious mysteries.

A CHONAIR MHOIRE

THE ROSARY

An ainm an Athar, agus a Mhic, agus an Spioraid Naoimh. Amen.

Fosglaidh tusa, a Thigheama, mo bheul.

Agus bheir mo theanga cliu dhut.

Dean cobhair orm, O Dhia.

A Thighearna, greas gum chuideachadh.

Gloir don Athair. agus don Mhac, agus don Spiorad Naomh.

Mar a bha, is mar a tha, is mar a bhitheas, fad shaoghal nan saoghal. Amen
