Joseph of Arimathaea

Joseph of Arimathaea

Merciful God, whose servant Joseph of Arimathea with reverence and godly fear prepared the body of our Lord and Savior for burial and laid it in his own tomb: Grant to us, your faithful people, grace and courage to love and serve Jesus with sincere devotion all the days of our life; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

11:30 a.m. | Our Lady of Fifth Avenue

This recitation of the Rosary is offered on the first Saturday of each month at 11:30 a.m. prior to the Holy Eucharist at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fifth Avenue and online as an audio livestream. It incorporates Shrine prayers, and the intercessions are offered at the beginning of each chaplet. More information about the Rosary is available online. More information about the Rosary is available online.

By prayerfully meditating on the mysteries of the Gospel and asking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we hope to grow in our love of Jesus and in our imitation of him and his mother.

We invite you to send us a prayer request or purchase a candle to be lit at the shrine.
