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.Joyful Mysteries
Mondays and Saturdays. Also Sundays in Advent.
1. Annunciation
Virtue: Humility.
2. Visitation
Virtue: Charity; Love of Neighbor.
3. Birth of Our Lord.
Virtue: Detatchment from the World; Poverty.
4. Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple .
Virtue: Obedience to God's Will.
5. Finding of The Child Jesus in the Temple.
Virtue: Piety. Repentance for loosing Jesus through Sin and Seeking out Christ
Most of the above is taken from the site, Spiritual Treasures: The Holy Rosary.
