4. The Assumption
MEDITATION: Let us contemplate in this mystery how the glorious Virgin, some years after the Resurrection of her Son, passed out of this world unto Him, and was by Him assumed into heaven, accompanied by the holy angels. Let us every day beg our blessed Lady to obtain for us the grace of a happy death. Our Father, etc.
5. The Crowning of the Blessed Virgin
MEDITATION: Let us contemplate in this mystery how the glorious Virgin Mary, with great jubilee and exultation of the whole court of heaven, was crowned by her Son with the brightest diadem of glory. May we be always found faithful in our devotedness to the Queen of the most holy Rosary. Our Father, etc.; Hail holy Queen, etc.
Among the many indulgences attached to this devotion is that of 5 years and 5 quarantines each time five decades are said. For this the use of a blessed rosary is not required. Neither is it necessary that the five decades be said at one time; it is sufficient that they be finished within the same day.
Numerous other indulgences may be gained by those who use blessed rosaries, or who belong to the Rosary Confraternity.
The meditation on the different mysteries may precede, accompany or follow the vocal prayers; but it should be closely connected with them.
