Saturday's Mysteries - Joyful Mysteries

Once again we return to the Joyful Mysteries.   These Mysteries are marked by the joy radiating from the event of the Incarnation.  this is clear from the very first mystery, the Annunciation, where Gabriel's greeting to the Virgin of Nazareth is linked to an invitation to messianic joy: "Rejoice, Mary."  The whole of salvation....had led up to this greeting.
(Prayed on Mondays and Saturdays, and optional on Sundays during Advent and Christmas Season)
