Mysteries of the 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 rosary by Pope John Paul
II in 2002. Each set contains
five mysteries, one for each decade of
the rosary. The Joyful Mysteries of
the rosary are the Annunciation,
the Visitation, the Nativity, the Presentation,
and the Finding of
Jesus in the Temple. The Sorrowful Mysteries of the 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 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.
