Glorious Mystery - 3

The 3rd Glorious Mystery of the Holy Rosary is the Descent of the Holy Spirit.



Sing again the joys of Mary
When she saw the Risen Lord,
And in prayer with Christ's apostles
Waited on his promised word:
From on high the blazing glory
Of the Spirit's presence came,
Heavenly breath of God's own being,
Manifest through wind and flame.

At Mass yesterday we heard in the Gospel from Luke how at the Annunciation, the Angel Gabriel said to Mary 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you'. Let us pray during this Advent Season that we, like Mary, will be filled with the Holy Spirit.
