His Cross; At the 10th Decade “. . .” Jesus crucified; At the 11th Decade “. . .” Jesus risen from the dead; At the 12th Decade “. . .” Jesus ascending to Heaven; At the 13th. Decade “. . .” Jesus filling Thee with the Holy Spirit; At the 14th Decade “. . .” Jesus raising Thee up; At the 15th Decade “. . .” Jesus crowning Thee.” At the end of the first five mysteries, we say: “Grace of the Joyful Mysteries come down into our souls and make them really holy”; At the end of the second: “Grace of the Sorrowful Mysteries, come down into our souls and make them truly patient”; And at the end of the third: “Grace of the Glorious Mysteries, come down into our souls and make them everlastingly happy. Amen.”
