Although the pope recently created the new set of Luminous Mysteries upon which to meditate while praying the rosary, this month try the Glorious Mysteries, which include the Assumption. It has also become customary to meditate upon a group of mysteries on certain days of the week, unless one says the complete Rosary in a single day: the Joyful Mysteries on Mondays and Thursdays, the Sorrowful Mysteries on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Glorious Mysteries on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the mysteries proper to the season on Sundays. [10] Each of its beads is like a step, and each of its five decades like a staircase, all wonderfully crafted to help us ascend upwards to Jesus, through contemplation of the joyful, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries of the Gospel. |
