Glorious Mystery
Resurrection of Jesus
 After
the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at
the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an
angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going
to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes
were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him
that they shook and became like dead men. The angel
said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know
that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come
and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and
tell his disciples: `He has risen from the dead and
is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will
see him.' Now I have told you." (Mt 28, 1-7).
But
Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the
firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through a man, the resurrection
of the dead comes also through a man.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be
made alive. (1 Cor 15, 20-22).
Meditating this mystery we pray one Our Father,
ten Hail Maries, Glory Be, The
Fatima Prayer.

Glorious Mystery
Ascension of Jesus
 He
said to them, "This is what I told you while I was
still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is
written about me in the Law of Moses, Prophets and
the Psalms." Then he opened their minds so they
could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This
is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise
from the dead on the third day, and repentance and
forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to
all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are
witnesses of these things. I am going to send you
what my Father has promised; but stay in the city
until you have been clothed with power from on
high." When he had led them out to the vicinity of
Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
While he was blessing them, he left them and was
taken up into heaven. (Lk 24, 44; 50-51).
Since,
then, you have been raised with Christ, set your
hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at
the right hand of God. Set your minds on things
above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your
life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ,
who is your
[1]
life, appears, then you also will appear with him in
glory. (Col 3, 1-4).
But
our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a
Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who, by the power that enables him to bring
everything under his control, will transform our
lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious
body. (Phil 3, 20-21).
Meditating this mystery we pray one Our Father,

Fatima Prayer.

III.
Glorious Mystery
Descent of Holy Spirit
 Then
they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the
Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room
where they were staying. Those present were Peter,
John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas,
Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and
Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along
with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and
with his brothers. (Acts 1, 12-14).
When
the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in
one place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind
came from heaven and filled the whole house where
they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be
tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on
each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the
Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2, 1-4).
Meditating this mystery we pray one Our Father,
ten Hail Maries, Glory Be, The
Fatima Prayer.

 Beautiful and honoured Virgin Mary passes from this
World on the way to Christ. She shines among the
saints like the sun among the stars. This Assumtion
makes angels and archangels happy.

V.
Glorious Mystery
Coronation of Blessed Virgin Mary
 A
great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman
clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet
and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was
about to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous
red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven
crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the
stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.
The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about
to give birth, so that he might devour her child the
moment it was born. She gave birth to a son, a male
child, who will rule all the nations with an iron
scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to
his throne. The woman fled into the desert to a
place prepared for her by God, where she might be
taken care of for 1,260 days. And there was war in
heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
But he was not strong enough, and they lost their
place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled
down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or
Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was
hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. (Acts
12, 2-3).
Now we
know that if the earthly tent we live in is
destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal
house in heaven, not built by human hands. (2 Cor 5,
1).
And
they sang a new song before the throne and before
the four living creatures and the elders. No one
could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been
redeemed from the earth.
(Rev 14, 3).
But
because of his great love for us, God, who is rich
in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we
were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have
been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ
Jesus, (Eph 2, 4-6).
Meditating this mystery we pray one Our Father,
ten Hail Maries, Glory Be,
The Fatima Prayer.
At the
end of the Rosary it is recommended to pray
one Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory
Be, and the Litanies of Loreto and The
Hail, Holy Queen. |
