The Glorious Mysteries
The Glorious Mysteries celebrate the Resurrection and what follows from it: the Ascension, Pentecost, and Mary's share in her Son's victory. Each mystery below has its Scripture, quoted in full, and the virtue traditionally asked for while praying it.
- The Resurrection · fruit: faithMark 16:6 (WEB)He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!
He is not here; he is risen. Let Easter reach the place in you that still feels like a tomb.
- The Ascension · fruit: hopeActs 1:9 (WEB)When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Christ goes ahead to prepare a place. Lift your eyes to where he is.
- The Descent of the Holy Spirit · fruit: love of GodActs 2:4 (WEB)They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

- The Assumption of Mary · fruit: the grace of a happy deathLuke 1:48 (WEB)for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Where Mary has gone, the Church hopes to follow. Ask her to pray for you at the hour of your death.
- The Coronation of Mary · fruit: trust in Mary's intercessionRevelation 12:1 (WEB)A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
