Fifth Mystery: The Coronation of Mary

“A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”Revelation 12:1

Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth by her Son. She reigns as Queen and Mother, interceding for all her children.

Fruit of the mystery: Trust in Mary’s intercession

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
