The Five Glorious Mysteries

First Glorious Mystery:
The Resurrection
(Intention: To remember the joys to come and to persevere to the end)

[ Recite 1 Our Father - 10 Hail Marys - 1 Glory be to the Father ]

The joy of Your Resurrection fills my soul with exultation and the realization that my body, too, will rise some day. Like Your Five Wounds, my suffering will also shine for all to see. The Wisdom of the Father will be glorified forever as all men see how His plan and will in my life marked out the glory that would be mine for all eternity.

All the trials, sufferings, heartaches, and disappointments will seem as nothing compared to the glory Your sufferings merited for me. They shall all seem like a dream, and the vision of Your face will fill my soul with exquisite joy.

My soul, reunited to my body, will be perfect as Yours is perfect. No evil tendencies will ever again disturb it, no weakness mar its beauty, no separations grieve my soul, no sickness or tears shatter my peace, no regrets cloud my mind.

My memory, like Yours, dear Jesus, will be filled with good things, my intellect will understand the greatest mysteries, my will, ever
united to You, will never again experience the pain of rebellion.

I will love and be loved by everyone and nothing will be impossible for me. The Father will be ever at my side and together with You, dear Jesus, I will roam freely in love of the Spirit forever and ever.

Second Glorious Mystery:
The Ascension
(Intention: To rise above the things of this world)

[ Recite 1 Our Father - 10 Hail Marys - 1 Glory be to the Father ]

Dear Jesus, I find the day You ascended to the Father a sad day. It resembles my soul when, after experiencing Your Presence, it is plunged into a state of dryness. Like the Apostles I tend to stand still and look up in the hope that I will once again experience the joy of Your Presence.

When this happens, my Lord, remind me of the Angels's admonition, "Why do you stand here idle looking up to Heaven?"

This dryness of soul is something I must work with and not against. Help me to realize that when I feel Your Presence You are consoling me, but when I do not feel that Presence and I continue a life of love and virtue, I am consoling You.

Teach me to prefer consoling You to being consoled, and give me the light to exercise my Faith when all seems dark.

I want to rise above the demands of my emotions and have the courage to live in spirit and truth. Grant me the Faith that is always aware of the invisible reality, the Hope that trusts in Your promises, and the Love that seeks not itself.

Third Glorious Mystery:
Descent of the Holy Spirit
(Intention: To increase in Love and Divine Indwelling)

[ Recite 1 Our Father - 10 Hail Marys - 1 Glory be to the Father ]

Mary and the disciples were locked in the Upper Room praying in a spirit of expectation, and the Spirit of the Lord came in the form of fire over the heads of each one.

At that moment, timid men became strong, fearful men became courageous, ignorant men became enlightened, and simple men became powerful.

Men who lacked the courage to defend their Lord ran out into the streets and proclaimed His Name. Imperfect men, finite and frail, healed the sick, cast out demons, and raised the dead.

These were the men who traveled without money, yet made all men rich. They had no place to rest their heads yet ever lived in their Father's House. They were unlearned, yet spoke many languages. The spoke of forgiving enemies, and drew men to repentance. They, labored and received no pay, yet piled up treasure in the Kingdom.

Holy Spirit, give me an increase of Your Gifts and the grace that assures Your Presence in my soul. Give me an awareness of the Divine Indwelling, a realization of how much the Father loves me, and transform my soul into a perfect image of Jesus.

Fourth Glorious Mystery:
The Assumption
(Intention: To possess a deep awareness of the glory to come)

[ Recite 1 Our Father - 10 Hail Marys - 1 Glory be to the Father ]

Mary, my Queen and Mother, I rejoice that your pure body - the Ark of the Covenant before His Birth, and a Temple of the Lord at His Resurrection - rose from death in anticipation of the General Resurrection.

It is a comfort to know that you are in Heaven as my Mother with all the love and concern your dignity demands. You know the dangers of
this life, you know the temptations of the Enemy, you know the weaknesses of the flesh. Help me to withstand these dangers until Jesus calls me to Himself.

Teach me, kind Mother, to keep my body pure, my mind undefiled, and my heart detached. Let your Assumption into Heaven give me the assurance and courage to be a Christian in word and deed.

Fill my mind with the knowledge of your Son's life, a compassion for His sufferings, and a zeal for His Kingdom.

Let my life be patterned after His life, and my Faith and Hope be as deep as yours. I want to stand beneath my cross exercising the same stamina with which you stood beneath His. I want my love and zeal to endure any pain and make any sacrifice. Intercede with your Son on my behalf and teach me to be like Him. Let me rise above the things of this world so my thoughts may be with you in Heaven.

Fifth Glorious Mystery:
The Coronation
(Intention: To one day be united to God in His Kingdom)

[ Recite 1 Our Father - 10 Hail Marys - 1 Glory be to the Father ]

Dear Mother, the Justice of God was not satisfied with reuniting your body and soul so you would be able to imitate Jesus in the Kingdom. Your Divine Son, King and Lord, deigned to crown you, as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

On earth you were the unknown and unheralded Mother of Jesus. Your humility astonished the Angels and confused the proud demons. It is truly just that now your greatness be manifested to all God's children.

Your one desire is to lead us to Jesus, and your one prayer is for our salvation. I am grateful for your care and sorry for my negligence.

Your Coronation gives me assurance that one day I too shall be crowned with glory. God will wipe away every tear from my eyes and bestow upon me the light of glory. Your heart was pierced with Seven Sorrows during your earthly pilgrimage. Now - twelve stars circle your head and the moon is under your feet (Rev. 12:1). Obtain for me, dear Mother, the grace I need to one day enter His Kingdom and be crowned with the crown of holiness.

My gift to help spread Our Lady of the Roses' messages to the world.
