The Descent of the Holy Spirit

The Third Glorious Mystery  ·  The Glorious Mysteries, prayed on Wednesday and Sunday

¹And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place: ²And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming: and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³And there appeared to them parted tongues, as it were of fire: and it sat upon every one of them. ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost: and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.

Acts 2:1–4, Douay-Rheims (Challoner)

1. The Our Father, once.
   Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
2. The Hail Mary, ten times.
   Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
3. The Glory Be, once.
   Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
