Today will be praying the glorious mysteries. Let us begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

I believe in God the Father Almighty 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.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

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. Amen.

For our Holy Father's 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.

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.

For an increase in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

The first glorious mystery is the resurrection.

As we begin praying the glorious mysteries, let's go ahead and take a moment just to reflect again on what the resurrection truly is.

It's not just Jesus returning to a life like before.

But instead, Jesus has truly entered into a new glorified reality.

Jesus, beyond death at the resurrection, we too are called to share in this life beyond death in heaven with him.

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O 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 second glorious mystery is the ascension.

So as we pray the second glorious mystery, the ascension, take a moment and and see again with your imagination Jesus's uplifted hands from Luke, which reads, lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

And notice that Jesus never lowers his hands.

Jesus is not going away. Instead, he's becoming even more present to us.

His hands are never lowered. The blessing

never stops.

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 third glorious mystery is the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.

What do you think the apostles were feeling in the upper room before the Holy Spirit descended upon them?

The apostles were surely apprehensive, waiting perhaps in trepidation,

but yet they waited and they prayed with hope and confidence and they were hurt.

You know, maybe you have something in your life where you're feeling anxious about it, feeling some trepidation, apprehension.

During this decade, let's hand our fears to the Father, asking for the Spirit with confidence, just like the apostles.

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 fourth glorious mystery is the Assumption of Mary.

Let's return to Luke chapter 1, verses 46 to 56, which is Mary's magnificat.

God has regarded the lowly state of his handmaiden, and all generations

call her blessed. It's all true.
Her entire magnificat is true.

And if God's faithfulness was true for Mary, God's faithfulness will be true for us.

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.

O 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 fifth glorious mystery is the coronation of Mary as queen of heaven and earth. And I want to return briefly to the fresco from day 188 that was titled Mary Help of Christians.

Amidst rows of heavenly angel choruses, Mary sits on a golden throne, crowned and holding a scepter.

Taking that thought for a moment, You know, our queen is crowned by God amongst the angels.

And this is our home. This is where we're headed.
This joy and this beauty. It's where we're going.

And this is part of the promise that we receive as we pray the coronation of Mary of Queen in heaven and earth.

That a heavenly home awaits us where we will be united with our Lord and our heavenly Mother.

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.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.

To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O Clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary, pray for us, most holy mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray, O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life.

Grant, we beseech thee, that meditating upon these mysteries, the most holy rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise to the same Christ our Lord.

Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

All right. Thanks, everyone, for joining me in praying with me today.
I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow. Poco, poco, friends.
God bless y'all.
