Day 259: The Glorious Mysteries

From The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) Ascension

Today, we begin the Glorious Mysteries, turning our hearts from the sorrow of the Passion to the joy and triumph of Christ’s victory. We pray the Resurrection, rejoicing in the Risen Lord who conquers sin and death. We move to the Ascension, where Jesus returns to the Father, preparing a place for us and commissioning us to share the Gospel. Finally, we enter into the Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, reflecting on the gift of the Spirit who empowers and guides the Church. These mysteries can fill us with hope and renew our commitment to live as witnesses of Christ’s love in the world. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Resurrection, Ascension, and Descent of the Holy Spirit. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
