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
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.
