Each Rosary invites the person to meditate on the mysteries surrounding the birth, life and death of Jesus and on his mother, the Virgin Mary.

The Rosary is made up of twenty "mysteries" (significant events or moments in the life of Jesus and Mary), which, following the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, are grouped into four series.

The mysteries of the Rosary are based on the incidents in the life of Our Lord and His Mother that are celebrated in the Liturgy. There is a parallel between the main feasts honoring our Lord and his Mother in the liturgical year, and the twenty mysteries of the Rosary.

There are four rosary mysteries (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous) and five parts of each mystery which correspond to the five decades of the rosary. The Joyful Mysteries focus on the joyful events related to the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.

There are four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and––added by Saint John Paul II in 2002––the Luminous. The repetition in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ's spirit dwells.

the mysteries of the Rosary are meditations on the life and death of Jesus and Mary, they are 5 Joyful, 5 Sorrowful, 5 Luminous, 5 Glorious.
