Fifth Mystery: The Coronation of Mary

“A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”Revelation 12:1

Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth by her Son. She reigns as Queen and Mother, interceding for all her children.

Fruit of the mystery: Trust in Mary’s intercession

A prayer with Saint Agatha

Lord Jesus, you gave Saint Agatha the courage to bear witness to you even to the shedding of blood. By the prayers of Saint Agatha, make me steadfast in faith and unafraid to follow you. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace…
