Fifth Mystery: The Institution of the Eucharist

“This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”Luke 22:19
At the Last Supper, on the night before He suffered, Jesus takes bread and wine and gives His Body and Blood to the apostles as food and drink, the new covenant in His Blood.
Fruit of the mystery: Adoration
Rosary Closing Prayer
O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we pray, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
