Each of the mysteries of the Holy Rosary is very meaningful, bringing us a part of the history of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As we meditate on the Joyful Mysteries, we are enchanted by the appearance of the Archangel St. Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, the birth and childhood of the Child Jesus.

In the Luminous Mysteries, we are bathed in the joy of Baptism and marvel at Jesus' docility in responding to his Holy Mother's request, turning water into wine at the Wedding at Cana. And finally, we feel complete when we receive the sacred heritage of the Eucharist. These are mysteries that complete us and leave us ecstatic.

In this third volume of the series Meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary, you will follow the reflections of Monsignor João Clá Dias, founder of the Heralds of the Gospel, on the Sorrowful Mysteries, which contemplate the agony, Passion, and Death of Our Lord.
