Remembering the Mysteries...

 


As I grow older and my memory grows worse and worse, sometimes I forget the individual mysteries of the rosary. This can be a problem and distraction. But creating little word games can help in recalling things at the right time. In case you run into this problem also, here are a few ideas -- feel free to adapt or use your own...


Joyful -- let us recall that many popes recommend the rosary as a road to holiness. It is an Avenue of Pope Francis -- Annunciation / Visitation / Nativity /Presentation /Finding-in-the-Temple.

Sorrowful -- remembering the sorrowful mysteries is not hard. In fact, it's as easy As three Cs -- Agony / Scourging / Crowning / Carrying / Crucifying.

Glorious -- those who pray the rosary make "Radacal" progress in the way of perfection -- Resurrection / Ascension / Descent-of-H.S. / Assumption / Coronation.

(Will let you come up with your own for the Luminous)
