VeraMaria Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I love all of them, and I know they are all of equal impoirtance, but my personal favorite are the Joyful!! They make me so happy!! But everyone's different, I mean myy grandmother likes the Glorious, because she says the Joyful make her sad, because she thinks about what is still to come...(The Passion...) And tell me which one is your favorite mystery. Mine is the Annunciation (although I love the Assumption and the Wedding at Cana also!)
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I love the Joyful mysteries, too. I think part of it is because, in a way, you see not only the holiness and Divinity of Christ, but you also see the Holy Family in a very human way. Meditating on the Joyful mysteries while I was pregnant was incredible to me. I would sit and think about all the things I was experiencing and think about how 2000 years ago Mary was feeling the same things--I mean things like the infant Jesus kicking in her womb, etc. I love all the mysteries in their own right, though, those are just some of the reasons why I really love the Joyful. :)
Jake Huether Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Sorriful is my favorite. I think it helps me to realize that pain isn't bad when we unite it with Christ on the Cross. It also makes me meditate on the great Love Christ had for us, even though we're a bunch of stinking sinners.
Lil Red Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 the new luminous mysteries are my favorite. I always felt that something was missing and now we have the new mysteries! They rock!
Lil Red Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Hey look, I finally passed 100 posts!!! Yippee! :D :D :)
littleflower+JMJ Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 i like the glorious because everytime my family prays the 20 decade rosary, i'm ALWAYS glad when the glorious myteries come along...their the last ones to say... naw, but seriously, the Sorrowful, im so into it during that time....
Kiddkapps Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I mean I love them all....and it kinda rotates for me. Like when HE's trying to teach me something or depending on what's going on in my life certain mysteries will become my favourite. I'm very partial to the Sorrowful though. BUT, currently the Joyful is standing out for me....specifically the second Joyful Mystery. Click here to read Second Joyful Mystery Thoughts.
VeraMaria Posted August 9, 2003 Author Posted August 9, 2003 Before praying the sorrowful mysteries today (friday) I watched the Passion trailer . It really got me into it and I meditated on them much better!!! (Imagine when we've seen the whole movie....that should give us enough material to meditate on for a lifetime! !)
Good Friday Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I love the Glorious Mysteries. They remind me of the victory that comes to all Christians who willingly suffer with Our Lord.
VanHooty Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I'm a fan of the Luminous mysteries myself. Probably because they seem to focus on the mystical aspect of Christ. And my philospical mindset seems to like pondering such things. That, and they are still new and fresh. However, the Sorrowful mysteries have always been, for lack of a better term, emotionally powerful.
Dave Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I'd have to say the Sorrowful Mysteries are my favorites too. They help me never to forget how ugly sin is and that it was my sins that caused Christ to suffer.
VeraMaria Posted August 11, 2003 Author Posted August 11, 2003 I love the Glorious Mysteries. They remind me of the victory that comes to all Christians who willingly suffer with Our Lord. I've never thought of it that way! I feel inspired, It's Sunday, so....Glorious Mysteries, here I come! :lol:
VeraMaria Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 Hey look, I finally passed 100 posts!!! Yippee! :D :D :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: this post makes me laugh. back in the days when jess had only 100 posts.... :rolleyes:
cmotherofpirl Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I like the Luminous ones because they are still new to me.
M.SIGGA Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I voted for the Sorrowful, but there is just something about the Annunciation that always cheers me up and makes me happy. I guess that's why its joyful lol.
VeraMaria Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 , but there is just something about the Annunciation that always cheers me up and makes me happy. I guess that's why its joyful lol. word :D
Im4Him Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I love all the mysteries, but I like the sorrowful the best.
littleflower+JMJ Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 :blink: wow old school. but still a great thread. ;)
Laudate_Dominum Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 That was one of the hardest decisions I've made in a while! I chose the sorrowful because of the centrality of Christ's Sacrifice, but I love all the mysteries so much! Using the above principle I should say that my favorite mystery to meditate upon is the crucifixion and death of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It's the mystery that won our Redemption afterall and we encounter it mystically and personally in the Mass.
thicke Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 back in the days when jess had only 100 posts.... Yeah. I just about freaked when i saw that. I thought wait a minute, how old is this? I vote for the new luminous mysteries. I think they really complete and complement the other three.
