First Mystery: The Resurrection
This mystery is featured for Monday within the Octave of Easter.
“He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.”Matthew 28:6
On the third day Jesus rises gloriously from the dead. The angel at the empty tomb tells the holy women not to be afraid, and the risen Lord Himself meets them.
Fruit of the mystery: Faith
Regina Caeli
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. For he whom you were worthy to bear, alleluia, has risen, as he said, alleluia. Pray for us to God, alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we pray, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, his Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
