Mysteries of the Holy RosaryThe
full rosary now consists of four sets of mysteries, the Joyful
Mysteries,
the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Glorious Mysteries and the
Luminous Mysteries,
which were added to the holy rosary by Pope John Paul
II in 2002. Each set
contains five mysteries, one for each decade of
the holy rosary. The Joyful
Mysteries of the holy rosary are the Annunciation,
the Visitation, the Nativity,
the Presentation, and the Finding of
Jesus in the Temple. The Sorrowful Mysteries
of the holy rosary are the
Agony in the Garden, the Scourging at the Pillar,
the Crowning with
Thorns, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion.
The Glorious
Mysteries of the holy rosary consist of the Resurrection, the
Ascension,
the Coming of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption and the Crowning
of
Mary, Queen of Heaven. The Luminous Mysteries are the Baptism of
Jesus, the Wedding at Cana, the Proclamation of the Kingdom of God,
the Transfiguration
and the Institution of the Eucharist.
