The fifteen Mysteries to be meditated upon in saying the Rosary.
The five joyful mysteries: 1) The annunciation of the angel Gabriel, and the incarnation of the Son of God in the womb of the blessed Virgin. 2) The visitation of St. Elizabeth. 3) The nativity, or birth of our Lord. 4) The presentation of our Lord in the temple, and the purification of his blessed Mother. 5) His being found in the temple, in the midst of the doctors, after having been lost three days, by his Mother and her chaste Spouse St. Joseph.
The five dolorous or sorrowful mysteries: 1) The prayer of our Lord in the garden, with his agony and sweat of blood. 2) His being scourged. 3) His being crowned with thorns, and abused by the soldiers. 4) His carrying of the cross. 5) His crucifixion and death.
The five glorious mysteries: 1) The resurrection of our Lord. 2) His ascension into heaven. 3) The coming down of the Holy Ghost. 4) The assumption of the blessed Virgin. 5) Her eternal felicity and that of all the blessed in the kingdom of heaven.
Prayer. — O God, who by the life, death and resurrection of thy only begotten Son, hast purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation: grant, that by meditating on these mysteries in the most holy Rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise.
