Third Mystery: The Descent of the Holy Spirit

“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.”Acts 2:4

On Pentecost, as the apostles are gathered with Mary in prayer, a sound like a mighty wind fills the house and tongues as of fire rest upon each of them. The Church goes forth to proclaim Christ.

Fruit of the mystery: Love of God · wisdom

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.
