Holy Rosary: The Glorious Mysteries Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

1. FIRST GLORIOUS MYSTERY: THE RESURRECTION

Joseph of Arimathea went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus
After taking the body down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth
He laid Jesus in a rock-hewn tomb which was never used before.
At day break on the first day of the week
A group of women went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb
But they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus when they entered.
Two men in dazzling garments appeared to them,
"Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
He is not here, but he has been raised."
(Luke: 24: 1-6)

*Fruit of the Mystery: Faith

2. SECOND GLORIOUS MYSTERY: THE ASCENSION

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain as Jesus had ordered them.
When they saw him, they worshiped but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them:
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
Baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son and of the holy Spirit,
Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
(Matthew 28: 16-20)
"So, then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God."
(Mark 16: 19)

*Fruit of the Mystery: Hope

3. THIRD GLORIOUS MYSTERY: DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,
They were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind
and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then, there appeared to them tongues as of fire
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the holy Spirit
and began to speak in different tongues
as the Spirit enables them to proclaim"
(Acts 2: 1-4) .

*Fruit of the Mystery: Love of God

4. FOURTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY: THE ASSUMPTION

In 1950, pope Pius XII defined The Assumption of Mary as the dogma of the Catholic church. Virgin Mary was assumed into heaven with her body and soul at the end of her life.

*Fruit of the Mystery: Grace of a happy death

5. FIFTH GLORIOUS MYSTERY: THE CORONATION

"A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed in the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars"
(Revelation 12: 1)

*Fruit of the Mystery: Trust in Mary's intercession
