Praying the Rosary--Meditating on the Virtues--the Joyful Mysteries

When praying the rosary, one technique to help meditate on the mysteries, is to pray to God to increase a particular virtue that is associated with that mystery. For the next few days, I'm going to publish a set of mysteries normally prayed on that day, and the virtues associated with them.
