Third Mystery: The Proclamation of the Kingdom

“The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”Mark 1:15
Jesus goes into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, calling all to conversion, forgiving sins and healing the sick.
Fruit of the mystery: Repentance and trust in God
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
