-III-
The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon Our Lady
and the Apostles
In the third glorious mystery we contemplate
how Our Lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit
to Mary Most Holy and the Apostles under
the form of tonogues of fire. The Apostles,
who until that time were lukewarm, spiritually
short-sighted and full of fear, were instantly
transformed into men full of ardent zeal
for the glory of God.
Let us beseech Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit,
to say but a word to her Divine Spouse, and
our souls - so weak, tepid and weighed down
with sin - will be transformed immediately.
Our Father, Hail Mary (ten times), Glory
be to the Father, O my Jesus..
