Demystifying the Daily Mysteries

For the last few days (the last nine days, in fact!), I’ve been praying a Novena. This has meant that I’ve been praying the rosary every day. As you may know, the Catholic Church has assigned to each day of the week a different set of “mysteries”:

Monday: Joyful Mysteries
Tuesday: Sorrowful Mysteries
Wednesday: Glorious Mysteries
Thursday: Luminous Mysteries
Friday: Sorrowful Mysteries
Saturday: Joyful Mysteries
Sunday: Glorious Mysteries

These mysteries are the events in the life of Jesus and His mother, such as the Resurrection and when Jesus turned water into wine. Catholics are invited to meditate upon these mysteries as they pray the rosary. Previously, whenever I went to pray a rosary, I always had to do a google search to check which mysteries were assigned to that day. However, after nine days of praying the rosary, I’ve come up with a little mnemonic to work it out:

Jesus Saves, God Loves Sinners, Jehovah God

Starting with Monday, the first letter of each of the words indicates which set of mysteries are to be prayed.

Day	Word	Mystery
Monday	Jesus	Joyful
Tuesday	Saves,	Sorrowful
Wednesday	God	Glorious
Thursday	Loves	Luminous
Friday	Sinners,	Sorrowful
Saturday	Jehovah	Joyful
Sunday	God	Glorious

Boom. Praying the Rosary like a professional! Does anyone have a better mnemonic they wish to share?
