Fifth Mystery: The Crucifixion
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”Luke 23:46
Jesus is nailed to the Cross between two thieves. He forgives His executioners, promises Paradise to the repentant thief, gives His Mother to the beloved disciple, and dies for our salvation.
Fruit of the mystery: Perseverance
A prayer with Saint Agatha

Hail Mary, full of grace…
