The Glorious Mysteries - "The contemplation of Christ's face cannot stop at the image of the Crucified One. He is the Risen One!" The Rosary has always expressed this knowledge born of faith and invited the believer to pass beyond the darkness of the Passion in order to gaze upon Christ's glory in the Resurrection and Ascension...Mary herself would be raised to that same glory in the Assumption.
First Glorious Mystery
The Resurrection
You need not be amazed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, the one who was crucified.
He has been raised up; He is not here. See the place where they laid Him." (Mark 16:6)
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Faith
Pray One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, One Glory Be, etc.
Second Glorious Mystery
The Ascension
Then, after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into Heaven and
took His seat at God's right hand. (Mark 16:19)
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Hope
Pray One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, One Glory Be, etc.
Third Sorrowful Mystery
Crowning with Thorns
They stripped off His clothes and wrapped Him in a scarlet military cloak. Weaving a crown out of thorns they fixed it on His head, and stuck a reed in His right hand... (Matthew 27:28-29)
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Courage
Pray One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, One Glory Be, etc.
Fourth Sorrowful Mystery
Carrying of the Cross
Jesus was led away, and carrying the cross by Himself, went out to what is called the Place of the Skull. There they crucified Him. (John 19: 17-18)
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Patience
Pray One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, One Glory Be, etc.
Fifth Joyful Mystery
The Crucifixion
Jesus uttered a loud cry and said, "Father, into Your hands I cammend My spirit." After He said this,
He expired. (Luke 23:46)
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Perseverance
Pray One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, One Glory Be, etc.
