Rosary of the Father

History:
Providence has given into our hands the "Rosary of the Father" in its five mysteries: spontaneous collaboration from several sides has enriched it with biblical references and litanies. This prayer has been approved by the Archbishop of Foggia, Mons. Giuseppe Casale, on November 23, 1988.
The Rosary of the Father, in five stations, helps us to reflect on His mercy, which "is stronger than evil, stronger than sin or death" (Dives in Misericordia, V111,15.) It reminds us that mankind can and must become an instrument for the triumph of the Love of the Father, giving its "yes" to Him in fullness and thus taking its place in the circle of Trinitarian Love that renders it "the living glory of God."

Method:
1st Mystery:
We contemplate the triumph of the Father in the Garden of Eden when after the sin of Adam and Eve, He promises the coming of the Lord. "The Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you earth all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at His heel." - (Gen 3,14-35)
1 Hail Mary and 10 Our Father's
2nd Mystery:
We contemplate the triumph of the Father at the moment of the fiat of Mary during the annunciation. "The Angel said to Mary: "Do not fear Mary. You have found favour with God. You shall conceive and bear a son and give Him the name Jesus. Great will be His dignity and He will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of David His Father. He will rule over the house of Jacob forever and His reign will be without end." (Luke: 1,30-33)
1 Hail Mary and 10 Our Father's
3rd Mystery:
We contemplate the triumph of the Father in the garden of Gethsemani when He gives all His power to the Son. "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup from Me; yet not My will but Yours be done. An angel then appeared to Him from heaven to strengthen Him. In His anguish He prayed with all the greater intensity, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. (Luke 22, 42-44)

4th Mystery:
We contemplate the triumph of the Father at the moment of every particular judgement. "While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him and was deeply moved. He ran out to meet him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. The son said to him, Father, I have sinned against God and against you: I no longer deserve to be called your son. The father said to his servants: Quick! bring out the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet. Take the fatted calf and kill it. Let us eat and celebrate because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and is found. (Luke 15, 20-24)
1 Hail Mary and 10 Our Father's
5th Mystery:
We contemplate the triumph of the Father at the moment of final judgement. "Then I saw a new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer. I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne cry out: "This is God's dwelling among men. He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people and He shall be their God who is always with them. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away." ( Rev: 21-24)
1 Hail Mary and 10 Our Father's
Conclude with:
Glory be....., My good Father...., Angel of God.
