I'm putting together all of the articles on the mysteries of the rosary from this past year, as a gift for John for Confirmation.
First: Confirmation is Initiation, not Graduation. Congratualations on getting to celebrate this sacrament, we're proud of you. However, in addition to celebrating, I should point out, now the real work begins.
Joyful:
First: The Annuciation
Second: The Visitation
Third: The Incarnation
Fourth: The Presentation at the Temple
Fifth: Finding Jesus in Temple
Sorrowful:
First: The Agony in the Garden
Second: The Scourging at the Pilar
Third: Crowning with Thorns
Fourth: The Carrying of the Cross
Fifth: The Crucifixion
Luminous:
First: The Baptism at the River Jordan*
Second: The Wedding Feast at Cana
Third: The Sermon on the Mount
Fourth: The Transfiguration
Fifth: The Institution of the Holy Eucharist
Glorious:
First: The Resurrection
Second: The Ascension
Third: The Descent of the Holy Spirit
Fourth: The Assumption of Our Lady
Fifth: Coronation of Our Lady, Queen of Heaven
In a twist of irony, the first luminous mystery, the one which gave John his name, is one I've not yet written about in this series. I kept thinking I'd missed one and I had. However, the piece I linked for that mystery, discusses how Confirmation perfects baptism, and so I thought it fit rather well.
