THE THIRD PART OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY
The Five Glorious Mysteries
1. The Resurrection
MEDITATION: Let us contemplate in this mystery how our Lord Jesus Christ, triumphing gloriously over death, rose again the third day, immortal and impassible. May we be very steadfast in the profession and practice of our faith, of which this mystery is the foundation. Our Father, etc.
2. The Ascension
MEDITATION: Let us contemplate in this mystery how our Lord, forty days after His Resurrection, ascended into heaven, attended by angels in the sight of His most holy Mother, and His apostles and disciples, to the great admiration of them all. Let us ask an increase of the virtue of hope and an ardent longing for heaven, our true home. Our Father, etc.
3. The Descent of the Holy Ghost
MEDITATION: Let us contemplate in this mystery how our Lord, being seated on the right hand of God, sent, as He had promised, the Holy Ghost upon His apostles, who, after He ascended, returning to Jerusalem, continued in prayer and supplication with the blessed Virgin Mary, expecting the fulfillment of His promise. May the Holy Ghost enkindle in our souls the fire of divine charity. Our Father, etc.
