Jesus we are called to be missionaries - bringing Christ's message to the whole world.The mysteries of the Mission Rosary are: 1) Jesus is baptised; 2) Jesus proclaims the good news; 3) Jesus heals the sick; 4) Jesus offers the gift of life; and 5) Jesus teaches us how to pray.
The FIVE DECADES of the rosary have also five corresponding colors and intentions:
1) BLUE (sapphire) - for Australia/Oceana - islands in the blue Pacific;
2) GREEN (emerald) - for Africa - with its green forests and jungles; sacred colour for Muslim).
3) WHITE (crystal) - for Europe - spiritual capital of early Christianity - Rome.
4) YELLOW (topaz) - for Asia/Middle East where the sun rises and civilization began.
5) RED (ruby) - for the Americas: Latin America, USA and Canada.
Michael Q. Nguyen prepared for us the unique way of praying the Mission Rosary complete with powerpoint presentation, reflective taped songs, and pertinent meditations on the mysteries.
