Saints &amp; Skeptics Prayer Series - The Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary - The Joyful Mysteries (Mondays &amp; Saturdays)<br /><br />The rosary is a Marian prayer that depicts the biblical life of Jesus.

"My son", the Queen of Heaven said, "prayer and penance are the only way to win souls". <br /><br />The Rosary is a deeply meditative Catholic prayer that reflects on key events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. These events are organized into four sets of "mysteries": the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries. Each set contains five individual mysteries (or events), making a total of 20. These mysteries are not just historical events but theological meditations meant to lead the faithful into a deeper relationship with Christ.<br /><br />The Joyful Mysteries reflect on the joyful events surrounding the Incarnation of Jesus.These mysteries show how God's plan unfolds through humble, obedient human cooperation, especially in Mary.
