  1. The Mysteries of the Rosary A perfect prayer Within it lies the history of our salvation

  2. The Joyful Mysteries • Prayed on Mondays and Saturdays • The events surrounding the coming of Our Lord, God made man (the Incarnation), are a cause for intense joy. We meditate on these mysteries asking Our Lady to help us discover the secret of Christian joy – the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh.

  3. The First Joyful Mystery The Annunciation Mary’s Openness to God’s Plan The angel tells Mary she is to be the Mother of the Lord (Luke 1:30-33) The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph … And he came to her and said, “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” (Luke 1:26-28)

  4. The Second Joyful Mystery The Visitation Mary’s Readiness to Serve Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth (Luke 1:50-53) In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah … And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb. (Luke 1:39-41)

  5. The Third Joyful Mystery The Nativity The Detachment from Material Things Jesus is born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:10-11) And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manager, because there was no place for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7)

  6. The Fourth Joyful Mystery The Presentation Obedience to God Mary and Joseph take the Baby Jesus to the Temple for the first time (Luke 2:10-11) And when the parents brought in the child Jesus … he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to why word; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.” (Luke 2:27-30)

  7. The Fifth Joyful Mystery The Finding in the Temple Devotion and Piety Mary and Joseph find the young Jesus after He was lost (Luke 2:48-52) After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; and all who heard him were amazed. (Luke 2:45-47)

  8. The Luminous Mysteries • Prayed on Thursdays • The public life of Our Lord reveals what the reign of God’s Kingdom is like – both in miracles He worked and in His preaching. We meditate on these mysteries asking Our Lady to help us to allow His light to shine in our darkness.

  9. The First Luminous Mystery The Baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan John Baptizes Jesus (Matthew 3:16-17) And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove. (Matthew 3:16)

  10. The Second Luminous Mystery The Wedding at Cana Christ Manifested Mary turns to Jesus to change water into wine (John 2:4-5, 2:11) Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tell you.” … This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee. (John 2:4-5, 11)

  11. The Third Luminous Mystery The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God Our Lord proclaims the Kingdom of God and calls us to conversion (Mark 1:14-15) Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15)

  12. The Fourth Luminous Mystery The Transfiguration of Jesus On Mount Tabor, the glory of God shines forth through Jesus (Luke 9:28-29; 9:29-35) And as [Jesus] was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white … And a voice came out of the cloud saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to Him!” (Luke 9:29-35)

  13. The Fifth Luminous Mystery The Last Supper, the Holy Eucharist At the Passover meal, Jesus takes the ancient symbols of bread and wine, blesses them, breaks them, and gives them to the disciples to eat (Matthew 26:26-27) Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” (Matthew 26:26-27)

  14. The Sorrowful Mysteries • Prayed on Tuesdays and Fridays • The Passion and death of Our Lord reveal how much God loves us. We meditate on these mysteries asking Our Lady to help us comprehend this love and to experience its life-giving power.

  15. The First Sorrowful Mystery The Agony in the Garden Accepting God’s Will Jesus prays before His Arrest (Matthew 26:38-39) And going a little farther [Jesus] fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (Matthew 26:39)

  16. The Second Sorrowful Mystery The Scourging Purity in thoughts and action Jesus is beaten (John 19:1-4; Matthew 27:26) Then [Pilate} released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified. (Matthew 27:26)

  17. The Third Sorrowful Mystery The Crowning of Thorns Courage to face God’s challenge Jesus’ kingship is mocked (Matthew 27:28; Mark 15:16-17) And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. (Matthew 27:28-29)

  18. The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery The Way of the Cross Patience in adversity Jesus carries His cross to Calvary (Matthew 27:31-32; John 19:17) And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him … They came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross. (Matthew 27:31-32)

  19. The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery The Crucifixion Dying to my Selfishness Jesus dies on the cross (Matthew 27:50-51; John 19:29-30) And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from the top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split (Matthew 27:50-51)

  20. The Glorious Mysteries • Prayed on Wednesdays and Saturdays • In triumph, Our Lord empowers us to follow Him courageously. We meditate on these mysteries asking Our Lady to intercede for us, that we may always keep in mind the glory of God as we seek to do His will here on earth.

  21. The First Glorious Mystery The Resurrection Joyfully embracing my faith Jesus rises from the dead (Mark 16:6-8; John 20:8 Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise form the dead. (John 20:8)

  22. The Second Glorious Mystery The Ascension of the Lord Turning to the things of heaven Jesus returns to His Father (Acts 1:7-9; Acts 1:10-11) He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” … When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. (Acts 1:7-9)

  23. The Third Glorious Mystery Pentecost The Descent of the Holy Spirit The spirit of Love in my decisions The followers of Jesus receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4) There appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:3-4)

  24. The Fourth Glorious Mystery The Assumption of Our Blessed Mother Eternal Happiness as my supreme goal Mary is taken to be with her Son, body and soul. (1 Thessalonians 4:14; Song of Songs 2:3-6) For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep (1 Thessalonians 4:14)

  25. The Fifth Glorious Mystery The Coronation of Mary Devotion to Mary to follow her example Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth (Revelation 12:1) A great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. (Revelation 12:1)
