-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..
