The First Sorrowful Mystery

>> Flash Movie: God of All Comfort (opens in a new window with music to pray by)
>> The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich

"As we then dare to accompany Jesus through the darkness and fear of Gethsemane, the Praetorium, and Calvary, we understand that we too, like him, must take up our cross of sorrow, pain and failure. Mary was present at the foot of the cross and she is present with us in our own struggles. And so, over and over again we say to her, “pray for us, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death.” ~ Father Tim Costelloe

...while still on the single bead:

>> THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN

Jesus prostrated Himself, prayed to the Father, and anguished over all the sins of the world.

Fruit of the Mystery: 

Sorrow for Sin 

Scripture Reading:  

In his anguish He prayed with all the greater intensity, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.  Then He rose from prayer and came to His disciples, only to find them asleep, exhausted with grief. (Luke 22:44-45)
