The Ascension
As Jesus was blessing them, He went up into a cloud and vanished from their sight. Suddenly two angels were in their midst and asked them, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven"

The Assumption
Mary was conceived without sin and Jesus would not allow her body to decay. The devil had no power over her. Jesus took her, body and soul up to Heaven
where He had a place prepared for her read more...
Coronation of Mary
Mary received the promised "never fading crown of glory" because her life so perfectly resembled that of her Son's and because she shared in all His sufferings. As a reward for her holiness and perfection of virtues, Jesus gave her dominion over the Angels and the Saints by crowning her Queen of heaven and earth read more...
Mary shared in Jesus' joys and sorrows. Her "yes" to God brought Jesus into the world and her presence at the foot of the cross united her to His act of redemption.
She fulfilled the prophesy in the first book of the Bible.
A prophecy as old as mankind...
"I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel." -Genesis 3:15
By Mary's seed, Jesus, she crushed the head of the serpent, Satan. With Jesus, Mary overcame Satan.
Just as she shared in His joys and sorrow it is truly fitting that she share in His triumphs and glories by being exalted with Him in Heaven in the Glorious Myteries.
Having a clearer picture of the scene and significance of the Glorious Mysteries will greatly enhance your meditation.
Remember the means by which the Rosary prayer brings about such inner peace is the use of both mental and vocal prayer.
This is how your mind internalizes the events in the life of Jesus.
