    The path of these mysteries leads from sorrow to joy, from the Cross to the empty tomb. In Christ’s Passion, we see the measure of His love. In His Resurrection, we see the promise of eternal life. These sacred moments remind us that no suffering is wasted, no darkness is final, for Christ has conquered all. As we contemplate these mysteries, we find strength to carry our own crosses, trusting that in Christ, every sorrow can be transformed by grace into glory. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Crowning with Thorns, the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
