Glorious Mysteries
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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
