Today we will pray the Fifth Glorious Mystery: The Coronation of Mary. Long ago, it was the mother of the king, not his wife, who took the role of queen. A king may have had many wives, so his heir would be brought up by his mother. This meant the mother had the most influence on her son and, therefore, the most honor from him.

Today we will pray the Fourth Glorious Mystery: The Assumption of Mary into Heaven. So much of pregnancy is spent protecting and nourishing our baby’s body. This continues after birth, of course, but during pregnancy, mothers are especially careful of what they eat, drink, inhale, and do in order to protect the growing baby. From cleaning products to alcohol and medicine, our foremost concerns are their effects on the baby in our womb.

Today we will pray the Second Glorious Mystery: The Ascension. To meditate upon the Ascension, as a pregnant mother, can truly bring peace and joy. The time that Christ spent on earth, from His Resurrection to His Ascension, was a time of teaching and preparation for the Apostles.

Today we will pray the First Glorious Mystery: The Resurrection. The Resurrection of Jesus is the necessary truth and foundation of our Catholic faith. Jesus has died but has risen from the dead. Jesus comes out of the darkness and into the light of life. The Cross comes before the Resurrection. Without the Cross, there would be no Resurrection.

Today we will pray the Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion. Being pregnant is an amazing gift because we are able to take part in our own Paschal Mystery and experience a small bit of Jesus’ words: “This is My Body, broken for you.” It’s been said a woman in labor is as close to Heaven as she’ll get earth-side.

Today we will pray the Fourth Sorrowful Mystery: Christ Carries the Cross. Four months pregnant, the first trimester nausea and fatigue were well behind me, and I was looking forward to the renewed energy that all the pregnancy books promised.
