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.




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.

I need wisdom.
God said, "No you don't.
I am Wisdom."
