Montfort: Second (Shorter) Method for Saying the Rosary

Celebrating the life, death and heavenly glory of Jesus and Mary in the Holy Rosary and a method of restraining our imagination and lessening distractions.


6. To do this a word or two is added to each Hail Mary of the decade reminding us of the mystery we are celebrating. This addition follows the name of Jesus in the middle of the Hail Mary:

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

Decade

    1st “Jesus becoming man”
    2nd “Jesus sanctifying”
    3rd “Jesus born in poverty”
    4th “Jesus sacrificed”
    5th “Jesus holy of holies”
    6th “Jesus in his agony”
    7th “Jesus scourged”
    8th “Jesus crowned with thorns”
    9th “Jesus carrying his Cross”
    10th “Jesus crucified”
    11th “Jesus risen from the dead”
    12th “Jesus ascending to heaven”
    13th “Jesus filling thee with the Holy Spirit”
    14th “Jesus raising thee up”
    15th “Jesus crowning thee”

At the end of the first five mysteries we say:

May the grace of the joyful mysteries come into our souls and make us really holy.

At the end of the second:

May the grace of the sorrowful mysteries come into our souls and make us truly patient.

At the end of the third:

May the grace of the glorious mysteries come into our souls and make us eternally happy. Amen.
