Meditating on the Coronation of Mary in the Prayer of the Rosary

The fifth glorious mystery is the coronation of the Virgin Mary. The glorious mysteries are the last series of mysteries to complete the rosary which is composed of four rosaries since the addition of the luminous mysteries. The Church invites us to meditate on trust in the Virgin and to urge those around us to turn to our Queen of Heaven to entrust their existence.
