<---The Joyful Mysteries.

First Sorrowful Mystery:
The Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Olives.

Biblical Text: Matthew Lc 22, 39-44


Jesus came with his disciples, as usual, to the Mount of Olives. He went to pray. Peter, James and John moved away from the rest and began to pray.
Jesus went forward a little and said:
"Pray not to fall into temptation."
He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt and prayed.
He began to feel fear and great distress he suffered.
He prayed saying;
"Father, if you like, away from me this cross so heavy, but not my will but yours."
And plunged in anguish, insisted in the same pray.
And there appeared an angel from heaven to comfort him. Then came in agony, and prayed more earnestly:
and he repeated the same pray. He was sweating like drops of blood that ran along the ground.

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz Missionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Long and earnest was the preparation for the Passion of Jesus.
Find secluded and lonely place. Three witnesses will accompany him before of agony: Peter, the one chosen to found his Church John and James, sons of thunder, which should observe everything and thus spread the gospel.
The other disciples were away. Thinking about all the sins that have been committed, being committed and will commit in the world Jesus sweats blood.
And ask the apostles to join his prayer.
The apostles goes to sleep and leave him alone. Even more anguished Jesus said to them;
have not been able to pray with me at least for one hour?.
Jesus taught them that:"the weakness of the flesh is corrected by the pray. Which is powerful and true guaranteed to come out winners in danger.
Jesus is very sad and distressed by the divine and human abandonment.
Charging with the weight of so many sins that mankind is from Adam to the arrival of Jesus.
More than the physical torture, it hurts the incomprehension, dryness, tepidity of soul, and the ingratitude of so many souls, who he will have bear in your body.
He sees the innocent heart of his Mother who is at his side, participating in the great sacrifice of atonement of many sins.
Faced with the danger the disciples fled, Jesus is alone, enduring the taunts, the laughter, and the insults of his pursuers.
His most Holy Heart shed sweat and blood for the salvation of all. He delivered into the hands of their enemies.
"His hour has came, the hour for the salvation of mankind".
Let us console Jesus with our prayers and united in spirit to their painful prayer in the Garden of Olives.


Let us ask Blessed Mary:
The pain of sins.

Pray the Our Father, ten Hail Marys and one Gloria.
And then,
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell leads to heaven all souls, and helps specially the most need of Thy Mercy".

Second Sorrowful Mystery:
The Scourging of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Biblical Text: Jn. 18, 33-40

And Pilate said, "But, then, are you king? Jesus replied:
- You said, "I Am King." I have the mission to witness the truth, for I was born and came into the world.
Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to me.
Pilate said to him: - What's this "truth"?
That said, went out again to where the Jewish leaders and said: "I find no case against him. By the way, is his custom at the Passover that they release a prisoner. You want me to release the king of the Jews?
Shouting again - that's not to Barabbas. (Now Barabbas was a bandit)
Pilate washed his hands and flogged Jesus.

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz Missionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The cowardly Pilate is convinced of the innocence of Jesus.
He has no value to declare free of punishment. Pilate feared losing their jobs, to calm the people, and decides to whip the Jesus as a rebellious slave.
Jesus as the innocent lamb, is surrendered meek to the orders of Pilate.

Centuries earlier the prophet Isaiah proclaimed that Jesus would suffer as a Man of Sorrows.
Well, through His wounds we were healed. In view of these scenes Saint Teresa of Jesus said:
"No more sins, no more sins, which cost so much blood to my God."
Let us try to live a consecrated Christian life, the pursuit of virtue.


Let us learn as main virtue, the silence.
Silent suffering, resigned like Jesus did!. Add the patience, which all it reaches. So, we will correct human nature that is lost by the disordered love, by the enjoy, by teh applause, by the ephemeral things, by the vanity.
The virtues are accessible to all wishing to acquire it, through divine grace.
With the example of Christ scourged, we must learn to suffer for love of Him, though costs us, and if we do in union with the Blessed Virgin, that experienced in his soul all the pains of Jesus, we will feel closer to the suffering body of Jesus and we will understand in part of what he suffered for us.

Recall that Jesus was flogged until his body was covered with sores and blood. To repair these scourges we will offer to Jesus, small mortifications; deprived of smoking, of overeating, of drinking alcohol. Every sacrifice will compensate for each of the blows he received and will strengthen our soul against the temptations of the devil.
That why in the Heart of Mary, rang all the hitting that Jesus received, however there is no revenge in the Mother of God.
Rather, it asks, begs forgiveness, reconciliation and repentance for the enemy.

Pray one Our Father, ten Hail Marys and one Gloria.
And then:
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell leads to heaven all souls, and helps specially the most need of Thy Mercy".

Third Sorrowful Mystery:
The Crowning of Thorns of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Biblical Text: John 19, 2-3

"The Roman soldiers took Jesus into the governor's palace and all the troops gathered around Him He removed his clothes, he put a soldier's cloak red.
The soldiers twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on his head and dressed him in a purple robe.
They kept coming up to him and saying;
'Hail, king of the Jews!' and slapping him in the face.


Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz Missionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The enemies Christ shows all his hatred in the torture that Jesus suffered.
Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, however, supports, ridicule, scorn, the spit it, blows, laughter toward his person, and all the evil of being human.
In these terrible scenes we have to see our own work, when we do not follow to God, in order to do His Will.
What the executioners did in the body of Christ, we do it ourselves when we do not follow God's commandments.
Seeing Jesus crowned with thorns, if we don´t feel desire to alleviate these pains, it is because we have not narrowed an intimate friendship with Jesus.

We have not had a conversation with an open heart,and we have not asked for help to him in case of need. Let us praise to Jesus and let us do it King in ours hearts, The only tribute of our love, and He alone is the only Lord and Master of our actions.
It is one of the ways to make a reparation to his Body, Soul and Divinity.
If we offer the Rosary, will thus become the true crown of roses with what the pious soul adorn the forehead of the Jesus wounds.
Let's help the Heart of Mary to remove the thorns which ungrateful men pierce each day, so many people who do not eat, children who die before one year of life, men that insults to God and Holy Church, laughing and making fun of Virgin Mary.
These spines, hurt both the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary.
Sharp thorns, that most of mankind, they nail daily with dishonesty, evil thoughts, lack of charity, disregard for life and for the others.

Let us ask Blessed Mary:
Let us love Jesus for recognize him as the true King.

Let us pray the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, and a Gloria.
And then:
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell leads to heaven all souls, and helps specially the most need of Thy Mercy".

Fourth Sorrowful Mystery:
Jesus with the cross on the way to Calvary.

Biblical Text: Jn. 19.16-18

Jesus remained in Jewish hands, and carrying the cross, went to the place called the skull "in Hebrew", Golgotha, where he was crucified.





Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz Missionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Executioners were not happy with the martyrdom they had to bear Jesus.
Pilate brings Jesus into the palace balcony, and pronounce those famous words:
Ecce Homo , Behold the Man!,
And asked the people with the same diabolical politicians Ardiles What do I do with Jesus King of the Jews!.
Crucify him, answered the crowd, between shouting and gesticulations horrendous.
And Pilate gave Jesus to give him death on the Cross.
Thus ensured his position as governor. He did not care distort justice.
Loaded bears the weight of our sins and around the world, Jesus goes up painfully to Golgotha, no one complaint go out from his lips. Joyful embrace to the Cross, because with the cross he will save the souls that he loves so much.
On the streets of bitterness,He is found with His Mother. How wonderful it would be to know the thoughts of Mary and Jesus at that moment.
It is known by nature, that any mother would suffer if she sees her son suffer, just as Jesus suffered. What pain will have flooded the Heart of Mary, to see Jesus, so hurt, so beaten, so humiliated!.
Mary Madgalene and John still some distance away. Jesus falls three times, amid the cries of the people.. they lifte Jesus of bad manners.
They fear that He dies before they reach the execution.
They forced Cyrene to carry the cross of Jesus. How often invites us to follow Jesus with the cross, and we sometimes cowards, we are reluctant, or perhaps ashamed us!. The cross is the line of duty, the daily chores, the endure the own and others' weaknesses. The cross presupposes suffering and resignation!
Is the step we all must climb to start fighting. Since life is a daily struggle.
Let us ask Jesus to teach us to endure for his love all the suffering He wants to send us.
Jesus goes before us, Mary and the saints accompany us, and our guardian angel helps us of Cyrene.
Let us expel the cowardice. It worth suffering by Jesus. It worth Eternal Life

Let us ask Blessed Mary::
Patience and fortitude in pain.

Pray an Our Father, ten Hail Marys, and a Gloria.
and then:
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell leads to heaven all souls, and helps specially the most need of Thy Mercy".

Fifth Sorrowful Mystery:
The Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Biblical Text: Jn. 19, 28-30

When they arrived at Calvary, the soldiers nailed on the cross. Jesus prayed: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
"To fulfill the Scripture, said:
"I have thirst.
"There was a vessel full of vinegar, a sponge soaked in vinegar, put it on a stick and held it to her mouth.
When Jesus had tasted it, said:
"It is finished." At noon the sun set and the whole country remained in darkness until three in the afternoon ...
Jesus cried out loud:
"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." And bowing his head, died.

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz Missionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.


Once on Mount Calvary, Jesus naked, and send lie on the cross.
With ropes and nails hold it. Mary was there in his heart he felt a tremendous bitterness. Raised Jesus from the heavens and the earth is proclaiming world domination.
Three hours was pending, his arms outstretched, his head bowed and speaking words of gentleness and love. He opened his chest with the spear to show his heart as a focus burning with charity .

In a gesture of supreme love gives us Mary to be our Mother of Heaven. United with Him now we have the same mother. We are all brothers.
If we go to Mary that at the foot of the cross, she accompanied to Jesus,we will see Her power and beneficent influence.
In spite of the ingratitude of men dedicated his last prayer and intercede before the Eternal Father to grant us forgiveness. Let us ask Jesus to forgive our sins, as did the good thief. Always let us pray before bed:
"Lord remember me when you're in your kingdom."
Let us accompany to Heart suffered of Mary, every Friday at three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour of great mercy, the hour that Jesus died. After three hours of agony Jesus dies on cross.
Why Jesus suffered so much? To save my soul.
He himself says:
"For a single soul, I would be willing to suffer my passion and death."
At the foot of the cross, let us promise to be apostles in order to conquer many souls for Him.

Let us ask Blessed Mary:
The Grace of conquer souls for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Pray one Our Father, ten Hail Marys and one Gloria.
and then:
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell leads to heaven all souls, and helps specially the most need of Thy Mercy".

At that time, God sent the Archangel Gabriel to visit a young virgin named Mary.

The angel said:
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and shall call his name Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High".
Mary said to the angel:
"How can this be, since i am a virgin?"
The angel said: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, the Holy one to be born will be called, Son of God".
And he reported that her cousin Elizabeth had conceived a son in his old age, because;
"Nothing is impossible for God"
and saying she was humiliated
"I am the servant of the Lord done to me what you've said".
And the angel went away.

Helpless Humanity was not able to do good and cried God:

And she said, raising his voice: "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!"
How is the mother of my Lord comes to me? As soon as your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped from joy in my breast.
Blessed is she who has believed that what Lord has said will be accomplished!"

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz, Missionary of the Sacred Heart.

A few days after the Annunciation, the Blessed Virgin makes a long journey to visit her cousin Elizabeth. The journey from Nazareth to Hebron is long, but the problems only revived his charity.
Beautiful lesson for lazy and weak souls who do not dare to go one step further in favor of others and perform their duties with neglect and abandonment.
Both cousins had miraculously conceived. The Word was incarnate by the Holy Spirit. John, the forerunner, was conceived in the ordinary way of the union of a man and a woman, but in circumstances prodigious, as her mother Elizabeth had passed the age of motherhood.
John was conceived in original sin, but before birth sanctified by the visit of Jesus in Mary's womb.
This happened at the meeting and affectionate greeting of cousins.
Zechariah's wife was filled by the Holy Spirit, and jumped for joy John, the child she was carrying in her womb Elizabeth welcome the son of God, the Blessed Virgin, carrying in her womb.
John was thus the first Christian and as such, a model and example. Proclaims to her cousin Elizabeth as the Mother of God, blessed among women and blessed by all generations. She recognizes that leads to the Son of God in her virginal womb.
Our Lady replied attributing sing a praise to God, "the Magnificat",
which knocks down the proud and exalts the humble.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Mejido Diaz, Missionary of the Sacred Heart.

Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth happy waiting for the fruit of holiness that she bore in her womb. The angel had revealed the mystery of Joseph, who was chaste and pure of heart.
The birth time was to take place in Bethlehem. Since centuries ago that the prophets had foretold the birth of the Messiah.

It has a census of the inhabitants of the empire. Joseph's family came from Bethlehem. Spouses are subject to the civil authority.
They go to Bethlehem. There are inn to stay.
An abandoned barn will be their night shelter. Endure cold and discomfort.
They do not complain because they know that God is with them.
Despite some difficulty always show joy. . The King of Heaven and earth, decides to be born in a rustic manger.
The deeper wound the human being is pride. And Jesus is an example of humility to bring down our pride.
Child born of poor parents, and pastors are your company. Humble and poor people like Joseph and Mary. The good news, the birth was not witnessed by the rich, the wise men, or lawyers, but by the humble people. So Jesus declares in favor of the poor, the humble of heart, and the despised of this world.
A multitude of Angels accompanying the Christ Child illuminating the stable and praising God for the birth of Jesus.
"Gloria In Excelsis Deo".
Adore to the Child Jesus who is King of Heaven wrapped in poor swaddling clothes on the straw in a manger. Seeing his voluntary poverty,

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Diaz Mejido Missionary of the Sacred Heart.

The old law commanded God to consecrate the temple to all first-born male.
The mother there was purged of impurity contracted during childbirth.
Both the Virgin how Jesus was free from every stain.
This law did not require Mary because Jesus was God, but She submits and obeys the common mandate. Joseph and Mary, obey and are part of the Jewish people, and how Jews do not want keep the sidelines.
After forty days, Mary, take the child and the offering, with Him, and through him, was present. A pair of doves who was the offering of the poor.

We need to know that we will all suffer, sooner or later, and we must do it quietly and offer it to Jesus Christ for everything he did for us.
Simeon teaches his honest conduct, the virtue of hope, which must not abandon ever, even when all seems lost.
Let us unite Heart of Mary in his life of sacrifice and bitterness.
What parents dedicate their child to God, and that they be educated for Heaven. Teaching them to pray the rosary and love to the Blessed Virgin.
Let us imitate the obedience and purity of Mary and we are always ready to accept the orders of those in authority over us.
Let us be faithful to the promises we make to God.

Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
"Why were you searching for me?" he asked.

But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

Short pause for reflection or,
Meditation by Father Celso Diaz Mejido Missionary of the Sacred Heart.

The sons must present himself in the temple three time a year by mandate of the old law.

During three days looking for Jesus among relatives and friends.
Until finally, they realize that Jesus should be in the temple.
And indeed, there he was. The pain and anguish became joy. There sat among the wises and doctors of the law. They wondered:
How is it that this child knows as much about the scriptures?.
Mary asks Jesus why he has disappeared for three days. Your father and I have been distressed looking for you. Jesus replied that they must know that He has to take care of the things his Heavenly Father.
His parents did not understand much what Jesus said.
But docile and obedient, Jesus returned to their parents obediently.

The Holy Rosary. Its Origin.

The Joyful Misteries.--->
<---Jesus ask us a very simple act of Love.



The Blessed Virgin Mary delivery to Santo Domingo Guzmán the Holy Rosary.




According to research by church historians, until the twelfth century, there is no evidence whatsoever that we will pray the Hail Mary, but is as the antiphon in the liturgy.
Before Santo Domingo de Guzman was listed only four or five cases of believers who used to pray the Hail Mary.

Santo Domingo instituted the practice of praying fifteen tens of Hail Mary.
That is to say 150 Hail Mary per day (today is 20 decades, ie 200 Hail Marys, and was added mystery of Light) with an Our Father at the beginning and Glory end of each decade in honor of the principal mysteries of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin.
This is what we know by the name of the Holy Rosary.

Saint Domingo de Guzmán was the first that it was found in his writtings, had ordered to pray the Hail Mary in their constitutions and their disciples of whom we have news, they were the ones who spread devotion of praying series of Hail Marys, meditating on the mysteries and knees praying the rosary, as Santo Domingo de Guzman as usually prayed it, of knees.

As reflected in his writings and as was customary at the time.
Based therefore, the voice of the Popes, according to tradition points us to Santo Domingo the founder of the Holy Rosary.
Although he was not the one who taught to recite precisely in sets of ten Hail Marys and distributing, as now, meditation on the mysteries.

This was not fixed until the fifteenth century.
The Holy Rosary, or Psalter of Mary "is an admirable instrument of Divine Providence, for sanctification in the temporal order.

In Lourdes and Fatima (the Church approved apparitions),
the Virgin Mary appears with her rosary in hand, recommends, exhorts and even asks of gift this practice of devotion.
We Christians must know that Christ's peace will not come if it is not come the Kingdom of Christ and will not come without the help of the Holy Rosary. The Rosary combines in its beads the most valuable Christian prayers;

the Lord's Prayer, taught by Jesus Christ;

Hail Mary, composed in the first part, by the Archangel Gabriel and Saint Elizabeth,

and Glory be, a former Trinary praise.

The Church dedicates especially the month of October to the dedication and exaltation of this devotion.
The complete Rosary consists of 20 mysteries, and 200 Hail Marys, but often prayed daily five decades, a third party.

It is a marvel of psychology where the recitation of the Hail Mary peaceful soul, and as background music, allows the contemplation of the mysteries.

The meditation of the mysteries could be imagining the scene,
getting into it, and uniting our feelings with the of that moment that would invade the Heart of Jesus Christ or the Blessed Virgin.
In each of the mysteries we pray an Our Father, ten Hail Marys and one Gloria.

Speaking of the Rosary, Pope Leo XII, describes it saying;
greatly admirable is this crown of Hail Marys.
Is an excellent way to pray ...
and very useful to reach immortal life.
Pope Pius XI in his encyclical letter on the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin,
is expressed by saying;
"What a prayers more appropriate and more holy we can found in it".
And finally, Pope John Paul II has said, "The rosary is a wonderful prayer".

To these invocations made, add the contemplation of the sacred mysteries that lay before our eyes,
the triumphs of Jesus Christ and His Mother ...
Mankind in all times been used as a powerful weapon for eject of the evil forces,
to preserve the purity,
and to more easily acquire a virtue.

The Blessed Virgin in our time, has strongly recommended this manner of prayer,
when he appeared in Lourdes and taught by example this recitation to Bernadette in the grotto of Lourdes.
What young people take out of it new energy, the elderly find rest, comfort and peace.
And anyone who pray will see calm their sorrows and anxieties. And according to the Blessed Virgin said:

"Who prays my Rosary shall not be condemned".

We also know the promises of Mary to pray the Rosary.
Promises spiritual, temporals, and Eternal Life.
Catholics and everyone who is searching for inner peace, and spiritual wisdom, the Rosary will drive to become more fervent and more diligent if they perform any work of apostolate.

We must everybody to pray the Rosary, and in particular to all those who suffer in some way, especially the sick, the dying to encourage and increase the hope of eternal happiness.
What parents teach their children to pray the rosary, specially when the day ends, at sundown, gather in pray as a family.

"Family that prays together stays together"

After a day of work, at home, and kneeling before an image of the Blessed Virgin. Pray the Rosary of Mary that they attract a lot of physical and spiritual benefits. (Fragments of Pius XI on the Holy Rosary).

In 1917 the Virgin Mary at Fatima appeared to three shepherds. The Blessed Virgin became known as:
"Our Lady of the Rosary."
She asked them to do penance to achieve the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Finally, urged them to pray the Rosary everyday and recommended add after each decade the following prayer:

"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, and helps especially those who are in most need of your mercy."

It is necessary to meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary, and these are divided into:
Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Light.
Through meditation we remember the life, passion and death of Jesus Christ for us and in which such participation had his Holy Mother.
The Rosary is a short but instructive history of the life, death and triumph of Jesus Christ, placed within the reach of all the faithful.

It is a good habit to pray the rosary together as a family which is most appropriate, in the church, and especially at wakes, offering it to the Queen of Heaven for the repose of the soul of the deceased and to grant to their relatives a Christian resignation.

The Virgin Mary promised to those who pray the rosary and spread it unique and special spiritual goods,
and in heaven will enjoy a particular way and the intensity will be measured by the devotion we have put in the Holy Rosary.
"To pray the Rosary everybody, every day, worldwide, which is the devotion most pleasing to our heavenly Mother."


Let us Pray the Rosary every day to achieve health of body, of soul, and holiness. Who prays the Rosary will not be condemned.
