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
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.
