The Third Glorious Mystery- The Descent Of The Holy Spirit

The Apostles are gathered in the upper room where Jesus had held the Last Supper. They are persevering in prayer with Mary the Mother of Jesus. A sound comes from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it fills the whole house. The Holy Spirit descends on each of them in the form of tongues of fire.

Filled with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, they are enlightened and strengthened to spread the gospel.

Having lost all fear of the Jewish leaders, the Apostles boldly preach Christ crucified.

The people are very surprised because every man hears them speak in his own tongue.

The Holy Spirit comes upon the Infant Church never to leave it. That first day Peter goes forth to preach and baptizes three thousand. The feast of Pentecost is the birthday of the Church, for on that day it begins to grow.

Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

1. Jesus told the apostles to wait for the Holy Spirit to come to them.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

The Second Glorious Mystery- The Ascension

Jesus remained on earth forty days after His Resurrection to prove He has truly risen from the dead. He commissioned the Apostles to preach the gospel to everyone and promises to be with them forever.

He will not leave them orphans, but will send the Holy Spirit to enlighten and strengthen them. Jesus proceeds to Mount Olivet accompanied by His Mother and the Apostles and disciples.

Extending His pierced hands over all in a last blessing, He ascends into heaven. As He ascends a cloud takes Him from their sight. He takes His place at the right hand of the Father.

What jubilation there must have been among the Angels of heaven at the triumphant entry of Jesus! The disciples leave Mt. Olivet and return to Jerusalem with great joy.
