During the month of May we remember Our Lady the mother of Jesus. We show our love for her by saying the rosary. It doesn’t take long and in these days of lock down we all have 5 minutes we can give to Our Lady. This week I am asking you to focus on the Joyful Mysteries. You may choose to do the rosary as a family or on your own. Perhaps beside the Altar you made at the start of May.

Here is a short clip to help you say the First Joyful Mystery

There are twenty mysteries to the rosary and these are divided up into four sets.  These mysteries tell us about the life of Jesus;

1. The Rosary begins with the Joyful Mysteries, which are happy stories about the birth of Jesus and his early life.
2. The Luminous Mysteries tell us about the life of Jesus as an adult as he spread the Word of God.
3. The Sorrowful Mysteries tell us about the passion and death of Jesus.
4. The Glorious Mysteries tell us what happened after Jesus died.
