Sorrowful Mysteries
Fifth Mystery: The Crucifixion
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”Luke 23:46
Jesus is nailed to the Cross between two thieves. He forgives His executioners, promises Paradise to the repentant thief, gives His Mother to the beloved disciple, and dies for our salvation.
Fruit of the mystery: Perseverance
Come, Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
V. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
