THE
GLORIOUS MYSTERIES

Life has its glorious mysteries – the bigger than life moments –glorious moments – climbing higher moments – crowning with glory instead of sorrow moments of life.

We look to the mystery of Jesus and Mary to understand the call to glory that God calls us to – especially through these mysteries:

1) Resurrection moments: these are moments when rise again after the deep sorrow of losing a loved one. These are moments when we start all over again after a fire or after being fired. These are moments when we meet the risen Christ in the morning after a long night of pain.

2) Ascension moments: these are moments when we climb out the pit of depression or recover from an addiction one day at a time. These are moments when we see the next step when we didn’t know what that step was.

3) Decension moments: these are moments when the Spirit of God comes down upon us – when the Spirit shakes the foundations of our being and we breathe in a breath of fresh peace.

4) Assumption moments: these are moments when our old assumptions fall apart and new ones appear – when we finally begin to grasp why pictures and statues of Mary are everywhere – when we begin to see she models the life of the Christian – now and into the hereafter.

5) Crowning moments: these are moments when we reach the finish line – when we see that it’s all worth it – the sacrifice and the giving – the being there for others – the emptying of the self to be filled with the fullness of God.
