Hey there,
Welcome to October. It’s the month of pumpkin spice lattes and, more importantly, the Holy Rosary.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love the Rosary.
So even though we’ve covered the Rosary several times before, here’s another one … with a twist.
Previous articles focused on the Rosary overall, its history, how to pray it, and things like that.
This time, we’re taking a deep dive into the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
Think of it as an opportunity to learn more about each of the “glorious” events in the life of Jesus and Mary. More knowledge will help with our meditation as we pray the Rosary and reflect on the five mysteries.
So sit back, grab your favorite latte and your Rosary, and enjoy this deep reflection into the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
Keep Believing-

The Fourth Glorious Mystery
And just like the other Mysteries, here Totus2us provides a Scriptural reference (though there’s really not much about the Assumption in the Bible), meditation, and multiple reflections on the fourth Glorious Mystery, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Assumption of Mary
The Assumption of Mary can be a little difficult to understand. It’s not directly referenced in the Bible like so many of the events. Did Mary die before she was assumed to heaven? This will give you a better understanding of what we believe about Mary’s death and Assumption.
