Joyful Mysteries
First Mystery: The Annunciation

“Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.”Luke 1:38
The angel Gabriel is sent by God to a virgin of Nazareth named Mary and tells her she will conceive by the power of the Holy Spirit and bear a Son, who will be called the Son of the Most High. Mary gives her humble, free consent.
Fruit of the mystery: Humility
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.
