Mystery of the Rosary Cards

When you meditate on each Rosary Mystery, the Rosary comes alive. Everyday Prayer Co has created Rosary Cards to help you pray. These are handy guides to help you remember each Rosary Mystery. 

The Mysteries Of The Rosary

A fruitful way to pray the rosary is to meditate on important events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Twenty of these moments are captured in what we call the mysteries of the rosary. These mysteries are grouped into four sets: joyful, luminous, sorrowful, and glorious. Each set of mysteries is prayed on specific days of the week.

As you meditate on these events, let the words of the prayers float by like a background rhythm. Focus less on the words and more on the mysteries. Get lost in the scene. Imagine yourself there. Each of the mysteries of the rosary can teach you a valuable lesson about life, love, and God’s dream for you. You can even use scripture to help bring you into the biblical scene. 

Mystery of the Rosary Card

We’ve built them to be a helpful tool to learn to pray more often. They can be especially helpful to someone who is learning the Rosary for the first time, and make great instructional gifts. 

Each one has a symbol on it representing a key mystery, and they have been custom designed. 

When you purchase a Rosary from the Everyday Prayer Company, a free set of Mysteries of the Rosary cards are included.
