I have found some remarkable parallels between the Joyful Mysteries and Glorious Mysteries in the Rosary. Maybe I can deepen these insight in the future, but, for the time being, here is what skims the surface:
| First |
| Annunciation: | An angel announces to blessed Mary the Good News. |
| Resurrection: | An angel announces to Mary Magdalene the Good News. |
| Second |
| Visitation: | Jesus, through Mary, blesses His predecessor. |
| Ascension: | Jesus blesses His successors. |
| Third |
| Nativity: | The Head of the Church is born into the world. |
| Pentecost: | The Body of the Church is born into the world. |
| Fourth |
| Presentation: | Mary presents Jesus in the earthly Temple. |
| Assumption: | Jesus presents Mary in the heavenly Temple. |
| Fifth |
| Temple Finding: | Wisdom is seated in the earthly Temple. |
| Coronation: | Wisdom is seated in the heavenly Temple. |
