Summary

The Joyful Mysteries reveal the nearness of God’s love. Mary’s faith and obedience open the way for the Savior. Through her service, joy spreads from one heart to another. Because of her humility and perseverance, our Savior is born. And in her devotion, the promise of redemption begins to unfold. May we, like Mary, open our hearts to God’s will and share His light with the world. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, and the Presentation in the Temple. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
