Summary

Today we begin praying five mysteries, our final step of building up the decades before we move to the full rosary. As we walk through each set of mysteries, we use our now-strengthened meditation muscles, moving from one mystery to the next, following the story of Jesus’ childhood and Mary’s fiat. Today’s focus is the Joyful Mysteries. We will be praying five decades of the Rosary.
