The Temple Rosary in Five Mysteries
On the Cross - The Act of Faith
We place our trust in God, the holy and all-glorious Trinity, who dwelleth in the Spirit of man.
We place our trust in Christ, the Lord of love and wisdom, first among many brethren, who leadeth us to the glory of the Father, and is Himself the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We place our trust in the Law of Good which rules the world; we strive towards the ancient narrow Path that leads to life eternal; we know that we serve our Master best when we serve our fellow man.
So shall His power rest upon us and ✠ peace for evermore.
Introductory prayers as the standard Rosary:
One Pater, three Aves, one Gloria
The First Mystery - The Building of King Solomon’s Temple.
Meditate on the Wisdom of Solomon and the Presence of God within the Temple.
Intention: Wisdom.
On the Pater bead - Our Father … etc.
On the Aves - The Angelic Salution "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."
On the chain -“Not unto us O Lord, not unto us, but to Thy name be the glory. We glory in Thy Cross O Lord and praise and glorify
Thy holy Resurrection for by virtue of Thy Cross joy has come to the whole world. Amen."

Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima for the Conversion of Muslims
Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the spiritual fruits and obtain the conversion of Muslims to the Christian Faith, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen.
