I am new at trying to pray the Rosary. Today I only made it through one mystery! But I did notice something interesting. Everyone knows that the Rosary is Scriptural, but have you noticed that the mysteries also follow the outline of the Apostle’s Creed?
*I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
[Joyful mysteries] Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
[Sorrowful mysteries] suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell;
[Glorious mysteries] the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.*
I guess this isn’t surprising–since both the Creed and the mysteries of the Rosary would want to encapsulate the Gospel.
Anyway, just my two cents.
