Meditating on the Mystery of the Assumption in the Prayer of the Rosary

The Assumption is the fourth glorious mystery. The glorious mysteries invite us to meditate on the various events after the sorrowful mysteries. In this fourth glorious mystery, the Church invites us to meditate on death and also on eternal life. The rosary is a prayer that allows us to reflect on our lives. It is a prayer that allows us to adjust our lives by meditating on the different passages of the lives of Christ and his Mother.

Meditate on the Fourth Glorious Mystery

In the Bible, there is no detailed account of the Assumption as there is for the Annunciation or the Visitation... We can take the time to read the first verse of chapter 12 of the Apocalypse before reading the verse that allows us to meditate on the fruit of the mystery. 

A Verse on the Assumption

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

A verse to meditate on the fruit of the mystery

Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. (Matthew 24:42)

When and How to Recite the Glorious Fourth Mystery

The fourth glorious mystery is meditated on with the resurrection, ascension, pentecost and coronation of the Virgin Mary. The Glorious Mysteries are usually recited on Wednesday and Sunday. The fruit of the mystery is the grace of a good death. The Church invites us to think about this passage to eternal life in order to prepare ourselves as the saints invite us to do. One way to prepare for death is to pray the Rosary. This is a powerful prayer and one that brings many spiritual benefits to our lives.
