In the Sorrowful Mysteries we stand beneath the Cross of Jesus, coming face to face with the truth of his insistence that the Christ must suffer and die. No matter that we long to cry out, if only we had been there; we still encounter the reality of our human position and the truth that is Our Lord's. We sense the sword piercing the heart of his Mother, and pray that it may open our whole being to the agony and the power that the infinite love of Jesus in his Passion chose and endured for us.

In the Joyful Mysteries we live again the story of Christ's coming. We rejoice before the infinite wonder of God-with-us. The hidden God, the secret of all ages, enters our human family a tiny infant, a child growing up the son of poor parents in an obscure village. To redeem us, God became one of us.
