The Glorious
Mysteries
The Glorious Mysteries are about Jesus’ resurrection
and the way Mary and all Christians can live with him in heaven. The stories of
the Resurrection, Ascension and Pentecost are in the New Testament. The
Assumption and the Coronation of Mary are ways in which the Church says it
believes that Mary is the first of all who believe in Christ, and all believers
will join him in heaven. The readers for these mysteries show that belief.
