Finally school is back in session. I have 121 terrific students this year in grades 4-8. I'm blessed to spend five days a week with these students. My first post of the school year comes to you from the 4th graders. They were asked to simply write two or three sentences about their favorite mystery of the Rosary. Here are some of their responses.
My favorite Mystery of the Rosary is The Assumption because that's when Mary goes up into heaven and joins the Kingdom of God! (Amanda P.)
My favorite Mystery of the Rosary is The Resurrection because it is when Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus stayed on the earth for 40 days with his disciples. Then he goes back to heaven to be with His Father. (Eric D.)
My favorite Mystery is The Birth of Jesus because Jesus is born! He is very important because he is the Son of God. (Andrew L.)
My favorite mysteries of the Rosary are The Birth of Jesus and The Crucifixion. On Christmas God sent His only son down to save us! God loves us so much that He would do that for us. The Crucifixion is when Jesus saw our sins and cried tears of blood and He was scourged and made fun of and had to carry His own cross up a very big hill. After three hours hanging there on the cross He died for us and opened the gates of heaven. (Katie B.)
My favorite mystery of the Rosary is The Resurrection because Jesus rose from the dead and He proved to everyone that He was the Son of God. (Jose T.)
My favorite mystery is The Birth of Jesus. Why? Our Lord is Born! It's amazing that our God was born in a stable by the Virgin Mary! (Sophia C.)
My favorite mystery of the Rosary is The Crowning with Thorns and The Nativity. The Crowning with Thorns is one of my favorite Mysteries. It may be sad, but Jesus was already scourged at the pillar and He still was willing to be crucified for our sins. I think that shows us how much He loves us. The Birth of Our Lord is also one of my favorite mysteries because our Savior, the Messiah, was born a little baby that would one day grow up to save us. You may be thinking, "Well the other mysteries are important." They are and of course I like them, too. But these two are my favorites. (Kinzley T.)
Stay tuned for many more favorite Mysteries. In the meantime...what's your favorite Mystery of the Rosary and why?
