“A mystery is a sacred thing which is difficult to understand…. The works of Our Lord and of His Blessed Mother can be rightly called mysteries because they are so full of wonders and all kinds of perfections and deep sublime truths which the Holy Spirit reveals to the humble and simple souls who honor these mysteries” (The Secret of the Rosary, St. Louis de Montfort).
Only those mysteries which Our Lady herself revealed are presented here. The graces presented below are adapted from St. Louis de Montfort’s Third Method for Saying the Rosary.
