Honoring The Rosary - The Glorious Mysteries

Photobucket
Continuing with the Mysteries...

I have included scripture and or other sources for the Mysteries.

While Praying the Rosary where it says "1st Mystery and Our Father" this is where you would announce the mystery for example - The Annunciation - then read the verse and meditate on it.
What are you supposed to be "hearing" from God? What can you learn from this mystery? How can you implement this in your daily life?
When you are done say the Our Father before moving to the next bead. While saying the 10 Hail Marys ask her to guide you on the above questions.

The Glorious Mysteries (Wednesdays and Sundays)
1. The Resurrection: Conversion of heart

"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, 'Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen"' (Lk 24:1-5).

"If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain' (1 Cor 15:14). The Resurrection above all constitutes the confirmation of all Christ's works and teachings" (CCC, 651).

2. The Ascension: A desire for heaven

"So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God" (Mk 16:19).

"This final stage stays closely linked to the first, that is, to his descent from heaven in the Incarnation. Only the one who 'came from the Father' can return to the Father: Christ Jesus" (CCC, 661).

3. The Coming of the Holy Ghost: The Gifts of the Holy Ghost

"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:1-4).

"'Holy Spirit' is the proper name of the one whom we adore and glorify with the Father and the Son. The Church has received this name from the Lord and professes it in the Baptism of her new children" (CCC, 691).

4. The Assumption of our Blessed Mother into Heaven: Devotion to Mary
Photobucket
"Henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me" (Lk 1:48-49).

"The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Son's Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body" (CCC, 974).

5. The Coronation of our Blessed Mother: Eternal happiness
Photobucket
"And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (Rev 12:1 ).

"Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death" (CCC, 966).
