The holy rosary for Priests and Seminarians -- ( The Rosary is said the same except you use these mysteries explanations ) THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES-- 1. THE RESURRECTION -- Jesus rises from the dead and appears to the Apostles. At times, priests and seminarians may suffer from depression and despair that plague them when they see so little fruit from their labors. We pray that priests and seminarians will always remember that the Crucifixion is followed by the Resurrection, and that darkness is always followed by light. We pray that all priests and seminarians may share the joy of the Risen Christ. 2. THE ASCENSION Jesus instructs His apostles and returns to His Father in Heaven. We pray that priests and seminarians may carry out Jesus instructions to evangelize the whole world, instructing and baptizing countless souls. We pray especially for missionaries who live lives of utter poverty and deprivation to bring the gospel to the unchurched. 3. THE DEsCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT The Holy Spirit comes upon the Apostles, who aare gathered with Mary. We pray that all priests and seminarians may be open to the graces of the Holy Spirit to strengthen them for their task of bringing souls to God and God to Souls. We pray that all priests and seminarians may be on fire to convert the most hardened sinners and to bring Gods love to the whole world. 4. THE ASSUMPTION Mary is taken, body and soul, to heaven. While she was on earth, she loved and prayed for the Apostles, the first seminarians and priests. We pray that all priests and seminarians will be devoted to Mary and find in her the love and comfort of a mother, the most powerful intercession of our greatest Saint, and surest refuge against satan and his cohorts who seek the destruction of priests and seminarians and the priesthood. 5. THE CORONATION Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and earth; she is rewarded for her faithfulness to God. We pray that Mary, Queen of the Clergy, will be the model of faith and joy, and the constant guide of all priests and seminarians, until they reach heaven where a crown, jeweled with the many souls entrusted to them on the day of Ordination, will be their reward for faithful and loving service.
