GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
FEBRUARY 22, 1996
The Resurrection
1. Let us think of Jesus as He hung on a cross. Let us see next to this picture
the picture of Jesus, glorious and all white, risen from the dead.
2. The world tells us that we should be “happy” all the time. Jesus shows
us His death and His Resurrection. Real happiness is had in doing
God’s will.
3. We have struggles in our lives, just as Jesus walked His Passion in His life.
But, if we stay close to Him, we are filled with His life and we have joy.
4. The women went to the tomb and Jesus was gone.
5. Think of the mystery that Jesus died and that He rose to new life.
6. The more we die to the ways that are not like Jesus, the more we will
rise to a greater life in Him.
7. He gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. This is the Bread of Life.
8. We cannot have life without Jesus. He is the source of our life.
9. He controls our every breath and our every heartbeat.
10. He fills us with His vibrant life and we are made whole.
The Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven
1. Think about the body of Jesus ascending into heaven.
2. These are the Glorious Mysteries. We see Jesus rise from the dead and
go into heaven, Body and Soul.
3. He opened the gates of heaven. Man can be with God forever in heaven.
4. Giving our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is our little heaven
on earth.
5. Jesus ascended into heaven, but He loves us so much, He remains with
us this day in the Holy Eucharist.
6. He is as present in the Holy Eucharist as He was the day that He
walked the earth.
7. We are baptized and in Baptism, we share in His divine life.
8. Jesus no longer walks the earth. He wants to live in us.
9. He wants us to live lives that are like His life.
10. He wants us to love God and to love each other.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and the Virgin Mary
1. The Holy Spirit descended upon them and filled them with the fire of
God’s love.
