Amen.* *Say One Hail Mary* *Prayer for the 27 days of thanksgiving:* Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail! At your feet I humbly kneel to offer you a crown of roses - bright yellow roses to remind you of the public ministry of your son - each rose recalling a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace. O Holy Queen, dispenser of God’s graces and Mother of all who invoke you! You cannot look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As you receive my gift, so will you receive my thanks; from your bounty you have given me the help I so earnestly and trustingly sought, even if I do not yet fully comprehend your wisdom. I despaired not of what I asked of you. And you have truly shown yourself my Mother! *Say the Apostles Creed:* 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 Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. _One *Our Father*, Three *Hail Marys*, One *Glory Be to the Father.*_ ✽¸.••.¸✽ ¸.••.¸✽¸.••.¸✽ The First Mystery of Light - *The Baptism of Jesus In the Jordan River* O courageous Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, when your son, as an example to all, insisted on being baptized by his cousin John and the sky opened and the Holy Spirit came down to him like a dove and a voice from heaven said, “You are my own dear Son in whom I am well pleased,” I humbly pray: Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father.
