Rosary #23 - Ephesians 4 - #2

ROSARY FOR THE YEAR OF SAINT PAUL - Ephesians 4 (#2)

On living with each other
  "In St. Paul's warning we must also find a call to examine our own

consciences today: not thinking we are better than others, but discovering

ourselves in the humility of Christ, in the humility of the Virgin Mary,

entering the obedience of the faith. In this way the great spaces of truth

and freedom in love open before us". Pope Benedict XVI – February 21 2009

First Mystery - Speak the truth (Ephesians 4:25, 29)
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, for we are members one of another… 29 No foul language should come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may impart grace to those who hear.


Second Mystery - Do not let anger take hold (Ephesians 4:26 - 27)
26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, 27 and do not leave room for the devil.


Third Mystery - Do not grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30)
30 And do not grieve the holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption.


Fourth Mystery - Purification of our hearts and actions (Ephesians 4:31)
31 All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice.


Fifth Mystery - Live in compassion and mercy (Ephesians 4:32)
32 (And) be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
