Mysteries of Glory (wednesday and sunday)
1. Jesus has risen
And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. and they said among themselves: "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?". And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them: "Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you".
(Mc 16, 1-7)

Dear risen Jesus, on Easter I didn't write anything, but today I want to write to You I want it to be a nice little letter. Dear Jesus I love You so much, really very much. Dear Jesus, I want to do what You want, I want to abandon myself in Your hands, O Jesus (...).
LET'S PRAY
O God, who with Your son's glorious resurrection gave joy to the whole world again, by intercession of the Virgin Mary, grant us to be born again in the light of the risen Lord to enjoy the delight of never-ending life.
2. Jesus' Ascension
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth".
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said: "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven".
(At 1, 8-11)

LET'S PRAY
Make Your Church exult of holy joy, O Lord, because in Christ ascended into Heaven our humanity is raised next to You and we, who are limbs of His body, live in the hope of reaching our Head in glory.
3. The Holy Spirit's gift
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And then appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
(At 2,1-4)

O Father, who poured out the gifts of Your spirit on the Blessed Virgin praying with the Apostles in the Cenacle, make us persist unanimous in prayer with Mary our mother to bring, with the strength of the Spirit, the joyful announcement of salvation to the world.
4. Mary's Assumption into Heaven
""My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God the Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
GFor he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. and his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts;. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; as he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever".
(Lc 1,46-55)

5. The crowning of Mary Queen of Heaven and earth in the glory of Heaven.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations....
