Day 293: The Glorious Mysteries

ASCENSION
About this episode

In the Glorious Mysteries, we celebrate the everlasting joy of God’s love and the hope of eternal life. Christ ascends to the Father, opening heaven to all who believe, and the Holy Spirit descends to fill our hearts with faith and courage. Mary, who remained faithful to her Son in all things, is taken into the joy of heaven and crowned as our Queen and Mother. These mysteries remind us that our journey does not end in sorrow, but in glory—that through Christ, we are called to share in the life and joy of heaven. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption of Mary, and the Coronation of Mary. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
