    What’s so special about the month of October?

    What’s so special about the month of October?


    What is the Rosary?

    Think of what you


    do when you visit an
    art museum: you
    GAZE at the images.
    The Rosary helps us to “gaze”
    upon Jesus and upon moments
    in his life and in the life of his
    Mother, Mary.

    We call that “gazing” meditation.


    But sometimes it’s not
    easy to focus or
    concentrate…too many
    worries, concerns, and
    distractions get in the
    way!
    We call that lack of focus,
    “monkey brain” because our
    brains have a habit of jumping
    from thought to thought the
    way monkeys swing from branch
    to branch. The Rosary helps us
    to “tame” the “monkey brain!”
    Just as an art museum
    has different “galleries”
    to visit, the Rosary
    invites us to “visit” four
    such “galleries” where
    we gaze upon certain
    scenes from the life of
    Jesus and Mary.
    The Joyful Mysteries (Mondays
    and Saturdays)

    The Annunciation
    Mary learns that she has been
    chosen to be the mother of Jesus.
    The Visitation
    Mary visits Elizabeth, who tells her
    that she will always be
    remembered.
    The Nativity
    Jesus is born in a stable in
    Bethlehem.
    The Presentation
    Mary and Joseph take the infant
    Jesus to the Temple to present him
    to God.
    The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
    Jesus is found in the Temple
    discussing his faith with the
    teachers.
    The Luminous Mysteries
    (Mysteries of Light)
    (Thursdays)

    The Baptism of Jesus in the


    River Jordan
    God proclaims that Jesus is his
    beloved Son.
    The Wedding Feast at Cana
    At Mary’s request, Jesus
    performs his first miracle.
    The Proclamation of the
    Kingdom of God
    Jesus calls all to conversion and
    service to the Kingdom.
    The Transfiguration of Jesus
    Jesus is revealed in glory to
    Peter, James, and John.
    The Institution of the Eucharist
    Jesus offers his Body and Blood
    at the Last Supper.
    The Sorrowful Mysteries
    (Tuesdays and Fridays)

    The Agony in the Garden


    Jesus prays in the Garden of
    Gethsemane on the night
    before he dies.
    The Scourging at the Pillar
    Jesus is lashed with whips.
    The Crowning With Thorns
    Jesus is mocked and crowned
    with thorns.
    The Carrying of the Cross
    Jesus carries the cross that will
    be used to crucify him.
    The Crucifixion
    Jesus is nailed to the cross and
    dies.
    The Glorious Mysteries
    (Wednesdays and Sundays)

    The Resurrection
    God the Father raises Jesus
    from the dead.
    The Ascension
    Jesus returns to his Father in
    heaven.
    The Coming of the Holy Spirit
    The Holy Spirit comes to bring
    new life to the disciples.
    The Assumption of Mary
    At the end of her life on earth,
    Mary is taken body and soul
    into heaven.
    The Coronation of Mary
    Mary is crowned as Queen of
    Heaven and Earth.
    Like reading the “thumbnails” in
    a comic book, the Mysteries of
    the Rosary give us “thumbnails”
    of the entire life of Jesus Christ.
    Let’s take a closer look at
    how to pray the Rosary.
    When we prepare to exercise, we
    “warm up.” In a similar way, we
    begin the Rosary with a “warm up.”
    3. Pray Three Hail Marys
    (for an increase in faith,
    hope, and charity) and
    one Glory Be to the
    Father

    2. Pray the Lord’s Prayer

    1. Pray the Sign of the Cross


    and the Apostles’ Creed
    5. Pray ten Hail Marys (a
    decade) and one Glory
    Be to the Father.

    4. Think about/announce
    the first Mystery. Pray
    the Lord’s Prayer.
    7. Pray ten Hail Marys (a
    decade) and one Glory
    Be to the Father.

    6. Think about/announce
    the second Mystery. Pray
    the Lord’s Prayer.
    9. Pray ten Hail Marys (a
    decade) and one Glory
    Be to the Father.

    8. Think about/announce
    the third Mystery. Pray
    the Lord’s Prayer.
    10. Think about/announce
    the fourth Mystery.
    Pray the Lord’s Prayer.

    11. Pray ten Hail Marys (a


    decade) and one Glory
    Be to the Father.
    12. Think about/announce
    the fifth Mystery. Pray
    the Lord’s Prayer.

    13. Pray ten Hail Marys (a


    decade) and one Glory
    Be to the Father.
    14. Pray the Hail, Holy
    Queen (Rosaries often
    have a medal here). 15. Pray the Sign of the Cross
    Images of Mary often
    show her holding up
    her Son, Jesus, for us
    to see. In the Rosary,
    Mary “holds up” Jesus
    for us to see and to
    believe in.
    Just as we can listen to our
    favorite songs over and over
    again, we can reflect on the
    Mysteries of the Rosary, over and
    over again, throughout our lives!
