The Five Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary
The five Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary are meditations on the life of our Blessed Mother, Mary and the early life of her Divine Son, Jesus. Through these decades we meditate on the generosity of Mary, accepting the Will of God to become the mother of His Divine Son, and the humility of Jesus submitting Himself first of all to God in becoming Man, and secondly, to St Mary and St Joseph as His parents, those on earth God appointed to have authority over Him in His youth.
Traditionally, the Joyful Mysteries are said on Monday, Thursday, and the Sundays of Advent and the Christmas season. 1. The Annunciation ~ Fruit/Virtue: Humility 2. The Visitation ~ Fruit/Virtue: Charity 3. The Nativity ~ Fruit/Virtue: Detachment from the World 4. The Presentation ~ Fruit/Virtue: Purity 5. The Finding in the Temple ~ Fruit/Virtue: Obedience to the Will of God
