Glorious Mysteries

The Glorious Resurrection of Our Lord
Glorious Resurrection of Our Lord Meanwhile Mary stayed outside near the tomb, weeping. Then still weeping, she stopped to look inside, and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head, the other at the feet. They said, 'Woman, why are you weeping?' 'They have taken my Lord away' she replied ' and I don't know where they have put him.' As she said this she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not recognise him. Jesus said 'Woman, why are you weeping?' Who are you looking for?' Supposing him to be the gardener, she said, 'Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and remove him.' Jesus said, 'Mary!' She knew him then and said to him in Hebrew, 'Rabbuni!' which means Master. Jesus said to her, 'Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and find the brothers, and tell them: I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' So Mary of Magdala went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and he had said these things to her.

-- John 20:11-18


The Ascension of Our Lord
The Ascension of Our LordThen he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.

-- Luke 24:50-53

The Decent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost
The Decent of the Holy Spirit at PentecostWhen Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest of the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

-- Acts 2:1-5

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven
The Assumption of Mary into HeavenI will tell you something that has been secret: that we are not all going to die, but we shall all be changed, This will be instantaneous, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. It will sound, and the dead will be raised, imperishable, and we shall be changed as well, because our present perishable nature must put on imperishability and this mortal nature must put on immortality. When this perishable nature has put on imperishability, and when this mortal nature has put on immortality, then the words of scripture will come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? Now the sting of death is sin, and sin gets it's power from the Law. So let us thank God for giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:51-57

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and EarthAfter that I saw a huge number, impossible to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language; they were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes holding palms in their hands. They shouted aloud, 'Victory to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!' And all the angels who were standing in a circle around the throne, surrounding the elders and the four animals, prostrated themselves before the throne, and touched the ground with their foreheads, worshipping God with these words, 'Amen. Praise and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

-- Revelation 7:9-12
