Our simple Step-by-Step Rosary is committed to Cardinal Burkes Our Lady of Guadalupes 9-months-Novena.
The Joyful mysteries, Mysteria Gaudiósa,
Traditionally prayed on Monday and Thursday.
It is normally prayed daily from Epiphany to Lent – and Sundays during Advent.
The Sorrowful mysteries, Mysteria Dolorósa,
Traditionally prayed on Tuesday and Friday.
It is normally prayed daily from Lent to Easter Saturday.
The Glorious mysteries, Mysteria Gloriósa,
Traditionally prayed on: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
It is normally prayed daily from Easter to Pentecost. (exeption Sundays of Christmas season).
We are aware that many people pray the the Pope JP II, the mysteria lucis, (Luminous mysteries) about the public life of Jesus. According to the Rosarium Virginis Mariae, section 19, "that to bring out fully the Christological depth of the Rosary it would be suitable to make an addition to the traditional pattern which, while left to the freedom of individuals and communities" - it is an addition and it is our freedom to use it or not. It is not part of the original Rosary given to St. Benedict. We do have it, but as it is now, it is only in a Rosary booklet, and none of our booklets are yet for sale.
In a fruitful cooperation, we have combined our Step-by-Step community Rosary with our Step-by-Step community partner, the Society of the Holy Rosary.
Pray the Rosary Daily!
Let us pray the nine-month novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe:
O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection
and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin
which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church.
Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ,
gave you to us
as our mother
as He died on the Cross for our salvation.
So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us,
He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac
to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.
Through your apparitions on Tepeyac
and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego,
millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son.
Through this novena and our consecration to you,
we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him
and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him.
In our homes and in our nation,
lead us to Him
Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.
Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart
so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him.
So may our hearts, one with yours,
always trust in God's promise of salvation,
in His never-failing mercy toward all
who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart.
Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe,
lead all souls in America and throughout the world
to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray.
Amen.

A PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN,
"HELP OF CHRISTIANS."
Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God and our Mother, Mary,
thou seest how, from every quarter, the devil and the world are assailing the Catholic faith,
in which we purpose, by God's mercy, to live and to die, that we may gain eternal glory.
O Help of Christians,
renew thy former victories for the safety of thy children.
They intrust to thy care their firm purpose never to belong to any gathering of heretics or sectaries;
O thou who art all holy, offer up our resolutions to thy divine Son,
and obtain from him the graces necessary to keep us true to them unto the end.
Console the visible Head of the Church,
help the Catholic Episcopate,
protect the clergy and the faithful who hail thee as Queen,
hasten, by the power of thy intercession,
the day which shall see all nations gathered together about the Supreme Pastor.
Amen.
Maria, Auxilium Christianorum, ora pro nobis.
