1st Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation
Saint Francis Cabrini:
“Mary lived more in God than in herself. She was more there, where she loved, than there, where she lived. Therefore, her mind was as lucid as the mind of the seraphim, and her will perfectly identical with all the desires of God.”

2nd Joyful Mystery: The Visitation
Saint Mother Teresa:
“Let ourselves be guided, let us remain calm, very calm… Let ourselves be carried by Mary, she will think of everything, she will care for all necessities of our body and soul. Hand over to her your difficulties, every suffering, and trust that Mary will think more about us than we for ourselves.”

4th Joyful Mystery: The Presentation
Saint Gabriele Possenti:
“I believe, Mary, that you alone fulfilled perfectly the commandment, ‘You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart’, so that even the blessed Seraphim come down from heaven to learn in your heart how to love God.”
Brief moment of silence
Our Father – 10 Hail Marys – Glory be – O my Jesus
5th Joyful Mystery: The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux:
“Mary’s greatness lies in her humility. It’s no surprise that Jesus, who grew up in her presence, is very much concerned that we learn the one thing: being meek and humble of heart.”
