1st
Glorious mystery: The Resurrection.
In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And,
behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and
came and rolled back the stone and sat upon it and said to the women: "Fear not ye:
for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as
He said".
(Matthew 28,1-6) |

2nd
Glorious mystery: The Ascension.
"I came forth from the Father, and am come into the
world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father". And He led them out as far as
to Bethany, and He lifted up His hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while He
blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped
Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great jot. And were continually in the temple,
praising and blessing God.
(John 16,28 - Luke 24,50-53 ) |

3rd
Glorious mystery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and
supplication, with the women, and Mary the Mother of Jesus, and with His brethren. And
when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And
suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and there appeared
unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues.
(The Acts 1,14 - 2,1-4) |

4th
Glorious mystery: The Assumption.
Now that Mary is raised into heaven, She prays for Her sons
and daughters, those sons and daughters Jesus left Her when He was on the cross. Mary,
pray for us, You know our fears, take us into Your Hearth, the Heart of a Mother. Help us
now and in the time of our death to be with You in heaven. We ask of You a devotion to
Your Immaculate Heart, where we may take refuge in times of trouble. Glorious Queen of the
world, be our advocate.

5th
Glorious mystery: The Coronation.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
After Her assumption, Christ exalted Her with Himself in the Kingdom of heaven, crowning
Her Queen of heaven and earth, and establishing Her as sole mediatrix of every grace and
blessing that He is pleased to bestow upon both men and angels. Glorious Queen of the
world, be our advocate.
(John 12,1) |
