Summary
We continue to build spiritual endurance through the rhythm of daily prayer. Meditating first on the carrying of the cross and the crucifixion and death of Jesus, we enter deeply into his suffering and sacrifice. Then, we transition into hope as we pray the first Glorious Mystery, the Resurrection of our Lord. This movement from sorrow to triumph invites us to reflect on both the cost of redemption and the promise of eternal life. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
