The first in a series of Marian Mysteries I thought of. These aren't official rosary mysteries but certain parts of the life of Mary worth contemplating. They all happen before the joyful mysteries. Any other ideas would be great to hear about. So far this is the 1st mystery, the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She's in the womb of St. Anne her Mother with her Father St. Joachim. You can be sure that we will see the Presentation and her Holy Marriage. Here we go! #ImmaculateConception, #Catholic, #Christian, #Marian, #MotherofJesus, #St.Anne, #St.Joachim, #Parents

So this is my 2nd Marian Mystery: The Nativity of Mary, the birth of the blessed mother of Jesus (who is Lord) and hence, in Christ, our Mother. Can you immagine that beautiful day? And the faces of Mary's parents marveling at such a beautiful child? Blessed Mama, pray for us!

The 3rd of my Marian Mysteries is the Hidden Life of Mary with her Holy Parents St. Anne and St. Joachim. This includes the "purification" of St. Anne and all the little moments they spent together before Mary went to the temple (There was also a feast of the purification of Mary altbough she need not be purified since she is already pure, in fact the Immaculate Conception should have purified St. Anne in itself lol). We pray for stronger and holy families and for young ones to follow the good example of little Mary.

The 4th of my Marian Mysteries. The Presentation of Mary at the Temple. According to the writings of the Divine Will she was only 3 years old when this event took place. So Mary lived most her life before her holy matrimony as a religious but even after, the House of Nazareth is the prime model for the monastery, you can even say it was the first monastery. Oh and I did more shading than usual, can you tell the difference?

The 5th of my Marian mysteries: The Holy Marriage of Joseph and Mary. This comes right before the 1st joyful mystery. St. Raphael is here to bless the Marriage (since he's the angel of marriage and joy among other things) with the priest. Can you imagine the holy joy of that day? To think that St. Joseph is married to the Immaculate Conception, he is married to the Mother of God and Queen of Heaven! St. Joseph and Mary are awesome!
