The Glorious Mysteries

 

The First Glorious Mystery

THE RESURRECTION

(FRUIT: FAITH)

Lord, as You promised, You rose from the dead. You always kept Your promises which means I must embrace the cross as You instructed if I am to rise to a new life in You. Grant me the strength to live for Your kingdom that You opened up to all of humanity when You rose from the dead.

The Second Glorious Mystery

THE ASCENSION

(FRUIT: HOPE)

Lord, You ascended into Your Kingdom where You sit at the right hand of God. Have mercy on all those who come before You for judgment. You left this world leaving Your Church in my hands. Grant me the strength to act as a good steward of Your teachings.

The Third Glorious Mystery

PENTECOST

(FRUIT: WISDOM)

Lord, grant me the humility to submit my will to the Holy Spirit. May I understand that Your Will, no matter how challenging or ridiculous it may seem, is the only way to eternal joy in Heaven.

The Fourth Glorious Mystery

THE ASSUMPTION

(FRUIT: DEVOTION TO MARY)

Lord, You chose Mary to bring You into this world, and hence She is the mother of all the faithful. May I listen to the guidance of the Holy Mother who only wants what is best for me – to one day join the angels and saints in Your Heavenly Kingdom.

The Fifth Glorious Mystery

THE CORONATION OF MARY

(FRUIT: ETERNAL HAPPINESS)

Lord, I ask Mary, our Heavenly Mother, for Her protection from evil and temptation. I ask the Queen of Angels to send guardians from the Heavenly Hosts to watch and protect me.
