Rosary Reflections

All,
As we all know, the Rosary is so much more than the "vain repetition" which it is called by the the uninitiated. The Sacred Mysteries of our faith which we meditate on as we pray, are so deep and meaningful. I'd like to open this thread as a place to share the fruit of our reflections on various Mysteries of the Rosary...

Joyful:
The Anunciation (Luke 1:28)
The Visitation (Luke 1:41-42)
The Birth of Jesus (Luke 2:7)
The Presentation (Luke 2:22-23)
Finding the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:46)

Sorrowful:
The Agony in the Garden (Luke 22:44-45)
The Scourging at the pillar (John 19:1)
The Crowning with Thorns (Matthew 27:28-29)
Carrying the Cross (John 19,17)
The Crucifixion (Luke 23:46)

Glorious:
The Resurrection (Mark 16:6)
The Ascension (Mark 16:19)
The Decent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4)
The Assumption (Judith 15:9-10)
The Coronation (Rev. 12:1)

What strikes me in the first joyful mystery is Our Lady's instant willingness for the Lord's will to be done. In that time, it was basically social suicide to bear a child out of wedlock. In fact, it could possibly mean death. Even if stoning was escaped, she would undoubtedly be shunned and Joseph would have nothing more to do with her. She would have been a disgrace to her family as welll. But in the face of all this, she faltered not for an instant.
This is such a tremendous example for us today in an age where our own intellects and desires are so idolized in society and the will of God is not the priority it should be. Our Lady, a paragon of piety.
