Glorious Mysteries
First Mystery: The Resurrection
“He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.”Matthew 28:6
On the third day Jesus rises gloriously from the dead. The angel at the empty tomb tells the holy women not to be afraid, and the risen Lord Himself meets them.
Fruit of the mystery: Faith
A prayer with Saint Agatha
Lord Jesus, you gave Saint Agatha the courage to bear witness to you even to the shedding of blood. By the prayers of Saint Agatha, make me steadfast in faith and unafraid to follow you. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
