What are the Healing Mysteries of the

Rosary?
BACKSTORY: Suffering's opening to Grace

In 2008, I was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer: testicular cancer. This type accounts for
only 1% of the cancers found in men, and they are usually between the ages of 15 and 35 years
old. I was 48 years old when I discovered I was part of the 1%. I not only had a rare disease,
but I beat also beat the odds age-wise, as well. I was also a day late and dollar short in terms
of discovering the cancer as it had all ready metastasized into my abdomen. This type of cancer,
once it spreads, can kill in a short amount of time.

It wasn't all bad news. If I had gotten this cancer during my younger years, in the 1970's, it
would have been a death sentence as there was no treatment. The famous football star Brian
Piccolo (watch the movie, "Brian's Song" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Piccolo) died of
this same cancer in 1970. Nowadays, if discovered soon enough, the cure rate is well into the 90
percentile. I reached my 5 years of being cancer free last year, and took on the title of "cancer
survivor." It was during the trial of being physically cured, through months and months of
intense chemotherapy (often 6 hours a day for 5 days straight) that I began to be cured not only
in body, but also in spirit.

The Holy Spirit sends a message of Healing Love

In reflection, while the cancer cells were dying in me, they were being replaced by spiritual cells
of healing. I journaled about my experience which is too lengthy to delve into here. The bottom
line is the Holy Spirit breathed into me a message of Healing that I was being asked to pass
on. I truly believe a miracle took place. After a few years have passed, I believe the Spirit
is asking me to continue this effort to get the "Word" out there of healing. I have struggled
mightily with the belief that I would be given such a task. Who is worthy? Certainly not
I. When I recall that "God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called", my spirit is

reinvigorated. I know the truth in the words, "It is not I who live, but He who lives in me" and
John the Baptist's words, "I must decrease and He must increase". They must guide me and help
me to continually recall that "God is Love and that He is an ocean of Mercy.
That message is revealed in "The Healing Mysteries"the Fifth Mystery of the Most Holy
Rosary. It does not have a specific day attached to it as the other mysteries, but can be offered
on any day for any person or group of people who are in need, and are seeking God's Divine
Mercy for any physical, mental, or spiritual assistance.

Here's a fuller version of the Five Healing Mysteries.It is all based on

Scripture.
The Five Healing Mysteries of the Scriptural Rosary
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only
Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He
arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father
Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
OUR FATHER
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.

HAIL MARY (3 times)

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our 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.
GLORY BE
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever will be. Amen.

FIRST HEALING MYSTERY:

1. THE ROMAN CENTURION'S SERVANT
Matthew 8:1-11 FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Trust in Gods mercy
OUR FATHER
1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
HAIL MARY
2 And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said, "Lord, if you wish, you can make me
clean."
HAIL MARY
3 He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I will do it. Be made clean." His leprosy was
cleansed immediately.
HAIL MARY
4 Then Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer
the gift that Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them."
HAIL MARY
5 When he entered Capernaum, 5 a centurion approached him and appealed to him, 6 saying,

"Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully."

HAIL MARY
7 He said to him, "I will come and cure him."
HAIL MARY
8 The centurion said in reply, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say
the word and my servant will be healed.
HAIL MARY
9 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,'
and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does
it."
HAIL MARY
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you,
in no one in Israel 7 have I found such faith.
HAIL MARY
11 And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you."
And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.
HAIL MARY
Glory be...

SECOND HEALING MYSTERY:

2. THE MADMAN IN THE SYNAGOGUE AT CAPERNAUM
Mark 1:21-28 FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Healing Mind and Spirit
OUR FATHER
21 Then they came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

HAIL MARY
22 The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and
not as the scribes.
HAIL MARY
23 In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit;
HAIL MARY
24 he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
HAIL MARY
The unclean spirit cried, Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of
God!"
HAIL MARY
25 Jesus rebuked him and said, "Quiet! Come out of him!"
HAIL MARY
26 The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him.
HAIL MARY
27 All were amazed and asked one another, "What is this? A new teaching with authority.
HAIL MARY
He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him."
HAIL MARY
28 His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee. HAIL MARY
Glory be...

THIRD HEALING MYSTERY:

3. THE PARALYZED MAN
Mark 2:1-12

FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Support of friends and family

OUR FATHER
1 When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home.
HAIL MARY
2 Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door,
and he preached the word to them.
HAIL MARY
3 They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
HAIL MARY
4 Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they
had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
HAIL MARY
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."
HAIL MARY
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves,
7 "Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive
sins?"
HAIL MARY
8 Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, "Why
are you thinking such things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins
are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, pick up your mat and walk'?
HAIL MARY
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth"-- 11 he
said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home."

HAIL MARY
12 He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone.
HAIL MARY
They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this."
HAIL MARY
Glory be...
Fatima Prayer:
O, my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

FOURTH HEALING MYSTERY:

4. THE MAN BORN BLIND
John 9:1-7; 35-41 FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Seeing with the eyes of faith
OUR FATHER
1 As he passed by he saw a man blind from birth.2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned,
this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
HAIL MARY
3 Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be
made visible through him.
HAIL MARY
4 We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one
can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
HAIL MARY
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the
clay on his eyes, 7 and said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So
he went and washed, and came back able to see...
HAIL MARY

35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in
the Son of Man?"
HAIL MARY
36 He answered and said, "Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"
37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him and the one speaking with you is he."
HAIL MARY
38 He said, "I do believe, Lord," and he worshiped him.
HAIL MARY
39 Then Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see,
and those who do see might become blind."
HAIL MARY
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not also
blind, are we?"
HAIL MARY
41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, 'We
see,' so your sin remains.
HAIL MARY
Glory be...
Fatima Prayer:
O, my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

FIFTH HEALING MYSTERY:

5. LAZARUS RAISED FROM THE DEAD
John 11:17-45 FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Gods power over death
OUR FATHER

17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days... 21
Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.(But) even
now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
HAIL MARY
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise." 24 Martha said to him, "I know he will rise, in the
resurrection on the last day." 25 Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever
believes in me, even if he dies, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will
never die. Do you believe this?"
HAIL MARY
27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God,
the one who is coming into the world..."
HAIL MARY
32 When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, "Lord,
if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
HAIL MARY
33 When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he became
perturbed and deeply troubled, 34 and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Sir,
come and see."
HAIL MARY
35 And Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, "See how he loved him."
37 But some of them said, "Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done
something so that this man would not have died?"
HAIL MARY
38 So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across it. 39 Jesus
said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him, "Lord, by now there will
be a stench; he has been dead for four days."
HAIL MARY
40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?" 41 So
they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing
me. 42 I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they

may believe that you sent me."

HAIL MARY
43 And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44 The dead
man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So
Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."
HAIL MARY
45 Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what he had done began to believe in
him.
HAIL MARY
Glory be...
Fatima Prayer:
O, my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we
cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in
this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after
this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet
Virgin Mary!
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
