The Rosary is made up of twenty "mysteries" (significant events or moments in the life of Jesus and Mary), which, following the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, are grouped into four series. This is The Second Joyful Mystery - The Visitation. Listen for divine connection to Our Lord and Our Lady. The Mystery is accompanied by sacred harp music. God bless you all, dear friends.

In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I believe in God, The Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, Died, And was buried.

From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, The holy catholic church, The communion of saints, The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the body, And life everlasting. Amen. Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

Amen. In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
