Link to the Rosary
The Assumption is the fourth glorious mystery of the Rosary, which contemplates Mary being taken up, body and soul, into the glory of heaven. Praying the Rosary under this title is to accompany the Mother in her final entrance to be with her Son. Contemplating it inspires hope in the resurrection.
