Totus Tuus - Totus 2us

Praying the rosary we contemplate 20 mysteries at the heart of our Christian faith. Each mystery is pondered on during a decade, made up of 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys and 1 Glory Be. There are:

_{5 Joyful Mysteries: the Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Presentation of Jesus & Finding of Jesus in the Temple;}

_{5 Luminous Mysteries: the Baptism of Jesus, Wedding at Cana, Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, Transfiguration & Institution of the Eucharist;}

_{5 Sorrowful Mysteries: the Agony in the Garden, Scourging at the Pillar, Crowning with thorns, Carrying of the Cross & Crucifixion;}

_{and 5 Glorious Mysteries: the Resurrection, Ascension, Pentecost, Assumption of Mary & Coronation of Mary.}

Here Totus2us's rosary recordings in English, French, Italian & Spanish are grouped together by mystery (with the full text of the Scriptural Rosary in English). Also included are other Totus2us mp3 reflections on the mysteries, plus quotes from Blessed John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.

_{"From my youthful years this prayer has held an important place in my spiritual life... The Rosary has accompanied me in moments of joy and in moments of difficulty.  To it I have entrusted any number of concerns; in it I have always found comfort.  24 years ago, scarcely 2 weeks after my election .. I frankly admitted: "The Rosary is my favourite prayer.  A marvellous prayer!  Marvellous in its simplicity and its depth.. Against the background of the words Ave Maria the prinicipal events of the life of Jesus Christ pass before the eyes of the soul.  They take shape in the mysteries, and they put us in living communion with Jesus through - we might say - the heart of his Mother.  At the same time our heart can embrace in the decades of the Rosary all the events that make up the lives of individuals, families, nations, the Church, and all mankind.  Our personal concerns and those of our neighbour, especially those who are closest to us, who are dearest to us.  Thus the simple prayer of the Rosary marks the rhythm of human life"...How many graces have I received in these years from the Blessed Virgin through the Rosary: Magnificat anima mea Dominum!  I wish to lift up my thanks to the Lord in the words of his Most Holy Mother, under whose protection I have placed my Petrine ministry:Totus Tuus!"}
