Together with Fr. Mark-Mary, we meditate on the Glorious Mysteries, drawing inspiration from St. Augustine and Mother Teresa. We contemplate the triumph of Christ and the joy of Heaven, reflect on what it means to hold fast to Jesus through charity, and give thanks for the “new wine” of the Holy Spirit poured into our hearts. We’re also reminded of Mary’s powerful and tender care as Queen who watches over her children. Today’s focus is the Glorious Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary.

Fr. Mark Mary
Of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer Leader
Amen. I believe in God, the Father Almighty.
Fr. Mark Mary
Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead and he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right.
Prayer Leader
Hand of God, the Father Almighty.
Fr. Mark Mary
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and a life everlasting.
Prayer Leader
Amen.
Fr. Mark Mary
For a Holy Father, his health and intentions. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The first glorious mystery is the Resurrection. As we begin our rosary today, you might recall the story I recounted near.
Prayer Leader
The beginning of our journey, about when.
Fr. Mark Mary
I was trying to make a paschal candle on Holy Saturday, a couple hours before the Easter vigil.
And how I found out, right like, how significant the paschal candle is as like the symbol par excellence of the entire liturgical year.
Let's go ahead and take a moment here and use the Paschal candle, the Easter Candle, the Paschal candle as imagery for a meditation like reminding us of how significant.
The victory of the resurrection is. The Easter Candle is lit, the light is victorious.
And death and suffering and darkness have never and will never overcome it.
The paschal candle continues to burn because Christ is risen.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The second glorious mystery is the Ascension.
Let's briefly return to one of our Saint Reflections from St. Augustine.
In St. Augustine, he exhorts us to hold fast to Christ as he ascends. And this is what St. Augustine wrote, Journey on with love, ascend by charity. Let everyone then do what he can for others. In this decade can we ponder how we personally.
Can cling to Jesus? Can descend with Jesus through our charity.
Prayer Leader
Our love of him and our love of our neighbor.
Fr. Mark Mary
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.
The third galore's mystery is the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
Hail Mary Reciter 1
After.
Fr. Mark Mary
The scent of the Holy Spirit. After Pentecost, those who hear the apostles are amazed, right? And they're perplexed. They even suggested, right, that perhaps the apostles had had too much wine at, like, 9 in the morning. But, right, like while they hadn't actually had any wine. This was this like callback. And this sign that Jesus implicit promise at the wedding feast at Cana is fulfilled. He has sent the new wine, like the good wine, the sweetness of God, in the form of the Holy Spirit. For all of us.
As we pray, let us give thanks for the gift of the Holy Spirit, the new wine given to help us on our journey to heaven.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name Holy thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The fourth glorious mystery is the Assumption of Mary.
Can we imagine what it must have been like in heaven when Mary was assumed?
If you remember, we can call to.
Prayer Leader
Mind the image I shared of Mother.
Fr. Mark Mary
Teresa returning to the convent in Calcutta and being surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of her joyful sisters who came to greet her with like smiles and laughter and tears. Like this great rejoicing that their mother was home.
And how like the angels must have rejoiced, like when Our lady was assumed into heaven, when our Heavenly Mother. Like when she returned home.
Or also these words of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, right? The glorious Virgin who mounts to the heavens today has without a doubt heaped joy upon joy for the citizens of the world above.
As we pray this decade, let us ask to already now share in this joy.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The fifth glorious mystery is the coronation of Mary's Queen of of Heaven and Earth.
One of Mary's titles is in Latin. Regina Angelorum.
Hail Mary Reciter 1
Right.
Fr. Mark Mary
Queen of Angels.
As we pray with Mary's coronation, we can find comfort and encouragement strength in this title. Knowing that Mary is both our mother, but also right. Our mother happens to be like the general, the queen of an angelic army.
Prayer Leader
An army, right.
Fr. Mark Mary
That she will send to protect us from all harm and to assist us on our journey.
We, the children of this mother, should never hesitate to call upon her for any help that we need with the confidence, right, that she will like fight for us. And that she will send hosts of angels to support us and protect us and encourage us on our journey.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
