The Rosary

Pray the rosary, with the saints

The Joyful Mysteries The Joyful Mysteries Mondays & Saturdays The mysteries of the Incarnation — from the angel's greeting to the boy found in the temple. The Luminous Mysteries The Luminous Mysteries Thursdays The mysteries of Christ's public life — light breaking into the world, from the Jordan to the upper room. The Sorrowful Mysteries The Sorrowful Mysteries Tuesdays & Fridays The mysteries of the Passion — from the garden's agony to the cross. The Glorious Mysteries The Glorious Mysteries Wednesdays & Sundays The mysteries of glory — from the empty tomb to the crown of heaven.

The painted worlds

Seven worlds, one prayer

Every day we pray with a painting for each mystery — and the paintings of a given week all come from one world: one era, one hand of light, so a week never mixes five centuries in five arches.
