The Glorious Mysteries (Mysteries of the Rosary for Children)

The Mysteries of the Rosary center across the events of the life of Christ, and are divided into four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and most recently the Luminous, added by Saint John Paul II in 2002. The Scripture-based prayer begins with the Apostles’ Creed which summarizes the great mysteries of the Catholic faith. The Our Father, which introduces every mystery, comes from the Gospels, as does the first a part of the Hail Mary which includes the angel’s words announcing Christ’s birth and Elizabeth’s greeting to Mary. The second one a part of the Hail Mary used to be added by St. Pius V.

The gentle repetition of the words of the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer as we believe Mystery and enter into the name of the game place in our hearts where dwells the spirit of Christ.

The four volumes of The Mysteries of the Rosary for Children are designed to assist the more youthful ones to take part in worship and adoration of the Savior.
