THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY  
       

The rosary is a prayerful reflection of the Gospels.

Pope John Paul II has written, "To recite the rosary is nothing other that to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ" (Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, 3).

The rosary comprises 20 mysteries or significant events in the life of Jesus and Mary. These events are organized into four mysteries: The Joyful Mysteries, the Luminous Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Glorious Mysteries.

 

 

Daily reflections on the mysteries of the rosary are offered

through Holy Cross Family Ministries.
