Joyful Mysteries

Mary received with deep humility the news of the Angel Gabriel that she was to be the Mother of the Son of God. Grant that I may always accept the will of God with humility like Mary.

Mary showed true charity in visiting Elizabeth and remaining with her for three months before the birth of John the Baptist. Grant me the grace to support and love my neighbour like Mary.

Mary loving accepted the poverty of the stable, although she was to give birth to Our God and Redeemer. Grant me the grace to endure poverty like the Holy Family when I long for richer things.

Mary and Joseph observed the law of God in presenting the Child Jesus in the temple. Help me to grow in the virtue of obedience.

Mary was filled with sorrow at the loss of Jesus, her Son, and overwhelmed with joy in finding Him in the temple surrounded by the teachers. Obtain for me the joy of staying close to Jesus.
