Summary

Today we reflect on four Glorious Mysteries that fill us with hope and lift our hearts toward heaven. Beginning with the Ascension of Jesus, we can meditate on the place he has prepared for us in heaven, and then the gift of the Spirit he has sent in the Descent of the Holy Spirit. We conclude with the Assumption and Coronation of Mary, celebrating her share in Christ’s victory as she is taken body and soul into heaven. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption, and the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
