ROADMA The Mysteries of the Rosary
1. Joyful mystery
P
- The most joyful event that
happened in my life was to be born
here on earth experiencing life
positivities, and negativities and
appreciating diverse creations
made by our Creator. From the
moment I was born until to where I
am in the present, I am grateful to
God for granting me as a blessing
to others and especially to my
family who I greatly honor.
Without them, I do not exist in this
world and without God; who I
adore, it is impossible for them to
be the reason of my existence. The
life that God imparted gave me a
wondrous start and at the same
time, a challenging path that offers
me a wide understanding of life. I
am greatly thankful for God had
given me the chance for my own
mystery to unfold. With this God-
given gift, I was able to meet my
friends and the people I am
encountering ‘til now. They
became a part of my life and
without them, I wouldn’t be where
I am right now. These situations
made me realize the essence of
valuing the people who guided and
filled me with happiness as I step
up in life. Lastly, I am definitely
joyous for it is indeed God who
gave me the chance to pursue my
goals and dreams in life.
2. Luminous Mystery
- It was a day of Christmas that time when I was in junior
high school. My family and I thought of a plan of giving the
street children and their families a present and a meal to
celebrate the Christmas season. We gave their families a
reason to celebrate the season with warm hearts and to see a
smile slowly appearing in their faces. Upon giving them the
present, I never thought that I would be so light-hearted
seeing them joyously accepting the gifts. I was relieved that
me and my family were able to help them witnessing that
despite the difficulties they were experiencing, we helped
them overcome those even in just a short span of time. I hope
that it also planted a righteous act in their hearts and do the
same thing in the future as they thrive and grow up as adults.
3. Sorrowful Mystery
- The time passed when our batch since junior high school got
separated this year. I can say that we made such a solid family that
knows each other’s weaknesses and strengths. We spent 4 years
learning, laughing, and bonding together but as anything has its
limits, it came to an end. Some of us parted ways already but some
are still part of this continuous journey. With them, I felt at ease
and I felt like myself. Enjoying their company makes such a great
day for me but as we gradually part ways in the succeeding days, I
never thought that it would make me feel gloomy and empty
4. Glorious mystery
- The moment when I was still at grade school, I was never
included in the list of top 10 or even the list of achievers. I can’t
make it to the list no matter how I tried to. When I stepped in
high school, I was convinced to be competent between myself
and the people around me. I became strict when it comes to
dealing with schoolworks and was affected by my classmates’
willing and diligence to learn. With the hard work I am pursuing,
I also accompanied it with prayers to guide me. This time, I was
already included in list of achievers every quarter and eventually
received high honors. By that, I proved myself that I can stand up
from the failures I’ve experienced and will always give my best
in all the trials to come.
