The Rosary Joyful Mysteries

Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary

Prayed on Monday & Saturday

Before each Decade of Hail Mary's we contemplate one of the following mysteries which all focus on a different aspect of Jesus' life and ministry:

1st Decade: The Annunciation of the Lord to Mary (Mary is chosen to be the mother of Jesus.)

2nd Decade: The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth (Elizabeth recognizes Mary as the mother of our Lord.)

3rd Decade: The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ (Jesus is born and laid in a manger.)

4th Decade: The Presentation of our Lord (Jesus is presented in the Temple of Jerusalem.)

5th Decade: Finding Jesus in the Temple at age 12 (Jesus is found discussing God's laws in the temple.)
