The Glorious Mysteries tell us what happened after Jesus died. Everything that Jesus said would happen did indeed happen. We see the Glory of God!In the First Glorious Mystery we journey to Jesus' tomb where he was buried after dying on the Cross. On Easter Sunday, his friends found that the tomb was empty. Jesus had risen from the dead as He said He would. Jesus came to them and showed them he was indeed alive and promised them that they would rise too.
In the Second Glorious Mystery, we watch Jesus Ascending up into heaven. Before leaving, He promised his friends that he would prepare a place for them there.
The Third Glorious Mystery tells us about the descent of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sent from heaven to lead people in this life and into the next life.
The Fourth Glorious Mystery is about Mary. Jesus loved her so much that he brought her to heaven immediately after she died. We say that Mary was assumed, taken up to heaven, so that she could be with her Son.
In the Fifth Glorious Mystery pictures Mary being crowned by Jesus as Queen of the Angels and Saints in heaven.
These Glorious Mysteries remind us that Jesus has a place in Heaven for us. He sends us the Holy Spirit who will lead us there. Our lives don't end in death, in a grave. God gives us a new life that never ends and that life is more beautiful than we can ever imagine.
