Join the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary for Tuesday, April 7, 2026, in the Octave of Easter.

The prayer begins plainly. It is introduced as the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary for April 7th, Tuesday in the Octave of Easter. The sign of the cross sets the pace, then a long profession of faith names God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, forgiveness, resurrection, and life everlasting. The Our Father follows in its traditional words: hallowed name, kingdom, daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil. The Hail Mary comes back again and again. Nobody pauses to explain it; the repetition is the devotion. The excerpt stays inside the Sorrowful Mysteries. After the first prayers, a petition asks for forgiveness, mercy, and the leading of all souls to heaven. The Holy Spirit is invoked. Through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the prayer asks for grace from the Lord's scourging so the soul may be truly mortified. Then comes the third mystery, the crowning with thorns, with moral courage named as its fruit. The decade is offered to Jesus. Through that mystery and Mary's intercession, the prayer asks for a great contempt of the world. Then the pattern resumes: Our Father, Hail Mary, the same slow return. The closing widens a little. A church prayer asks that the one appointed to preside may edify the flock by word and example and reach life everlasting with them. Saint Michael is invoked. The guardian angel prayer asks for light, guarding, rule, and guidance before the rosary closes in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
