Laudate_Dominum Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 That was one of the hardest decisions I've made in a while! I chose the sorrowful because of the centrality of Christ's Sacrifice, but I love all the mysteries so much! Using the above principle I should say that my favorite mystery to meditate upon is the crucifixion and death of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It's the mystery that won our Redemption afterall and we encounter it mystically and personally in the Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicke Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 back in the days when jess had only 100 posts.... Yeah. I just about freaked when i saw that. I thought wait a minute, how old is this? I vote for the new luminous mysteries. I think they really complete and complement the other three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRitaMichael Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I like saying the Joyful Mysteries in front of the Eucharist b/c when it's the 5th one where "Jesus is found in the temple" I always smile b/c I think, "I was looking for Jesus, too and I found him right here in the temple!" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaxChristi7 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) By far I'd have to say the sorrowful mysteries are my favorite. There's something so powerful about meditating upon the one act of God to redeem the whole of humanity. That's also why I can't wait for the Passion. Contrary to the Roman's intent, there's something glorious about what Christ endures. They're just a great source of meditation for me and they help bring me closer to Christ than the other meditations. p.s. I really don't like the title "Lurker." I just started here and I feel like I'm this sneaky spy infiltrating a Catholic stronghold. :D Edited February 3, 2004 by PaxChristi7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeraMaria Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 bump. this is a good poll. sorrowful are winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillT Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 (edited) I voted Sorrowful because I find it very helpful to meditate on these mysteries at any time. If I am comfortable, they make me say "why am I comfortable", which usually leads to the answer "I've been lax in my faith or in standing up for it", if I am suffering in any way, it gives me a greater unerstanding of suffering's good, holy, and sanctifying properties, and it always leaves me in amazement that this is how God chose to save us, to come and suffer and die just so we can be with Him forever. These mysteries are very, very powerful to me, espscially in front of the Blessed Sacrement. Edited July 17, 2004 by WillT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea348 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 My favorite are the joyful mysteries. My favorite individual mystery is the Annunciation because it helps me a lot to meditate on Mary's willingness to follow God's will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StColette Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 My fave mysteries are the Glorious Mysteries, 5 powerful events all taking place within one set Though I do love the entire Rosary, the Glorious Mysteries are just amazing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
