The Joyful Mysteries
Annunciation
Mary said "Yes" to God's plan for her life. We pray that all will say "Yes" to the Culture of Life.
Visitation
Elizabeth acknowledged the unborn child Jesus in Mary's womb. We pray that we may acknowledge and revere life in its earliest stage.
Nativity
Mary gave birth to the infant Jesus. We pray that the world may experience a rebirth of respect for human life from inception to natural death.
Presentation
Mary presented her fully divine and fully human Son to God in the temple. We pray that God's creative power may be respected and the creation of babies by cloning be prohibited.
Finding Jesus in the temple
Mary and Joseph were diligent in their search for Jesus in Jerusalem. We pray that we may always seek ethical methods to find cures for diseases.

The Sorrowful Mysteries
Agony in the Garden
Jesus was betrayed and sold for thirty pieces of silver. We pray that unborn babies will not be sold or cloned for monetary gain.
The Scourging at the Pillar
Jesus was stripped of his clothes and scourged for us. We pray that embryos may not be stripped of their humanity.
Jesus Crowned with Thorns
Jesus was mocked and forced to wear a crown of thorns. We pray that those who wear the crown of authority will not mock their responsibility to protect human dignity by promoting cloning.
Jesus Carries His Cross
Jesus carried His cross to Calvary. We pray that those carrying the burden of illness may be strengthened by God's love and not succumb to false promises of immediate cures.
Jesus Dies on the Cross
Jesus loved and valued each one of us so much that He gave His life for us. We pray that we may appreciate the value of each life no matter how small, for it is precious and is loved by God.

The Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
Jesus overcame death by rising from the dead. We pray that cures from adult stem cells may rise to overcome the determination of entrepreneurial scientists to pursue destructive embryonic research.
The Ascension
Jesus fulfilled the will of His Father on earth in order to return to Him in heaven. We pray that the will of the people shall reflect the will of God so that our country can return to God, obey His commandments, and protect all human life.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
The apostles were inspired and emboldened to spread the good news of God's love. We pray that biotechnology scientists will be inspired to utilize the benefits of adult stem cells and be emboldened to resist any pressure from those who insist on access to embryonic stem cell research and cloning.
The Assumption
God's love for Mary kept her body free from corruption. We pray that those involved in the biotechnology industry will not be corrupted by the lure of fame and fortune.
Coronation of Our Lady as Queen of Heaven and Earth
Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. We pray that our faithfulness to the Gospel of Life will allow us to join her there for eternity.

The Luminous Mysteries
The Baptism of Jesus
The Father announced His pleasure with His Son. We pray that we may be pleasing to the Father and persevere in our work to protect His little ones.
The Wedding at Cana
Jesus granted His Mother's wish and changed the water into wine at the wedding in Cana. We pray that through her intercessions, we will be granted success in our efforts to change the minds and hearts of those who deny the dignity and sanctity of human life at its earliest stages.
Proclaiming the Kingdom
Jesus proclaimed His Father's kingdom. We pray that He will grant us the courage to proclaim that every human life, regardless of its size or how it began, is a precious member of the Father's Kingdom.
The Transfiguration
God, the Father, announced at Jesus' transfiguration, "This is my Son; listen to Him." We pray that the doctors, scientists and businessmen will listen to Him and direct their talents to the preservation and protection of every human life.
The Institution of the Eucharist
Jesus nourished us with His Body and Blood in the Eucharist. We pray that, being nourished with the Eucharist, we will be able to sustain the campaign to protect all human life so that "life will be victorious."
