Nice homily this morning at Mass pointing out that between Christmas, St. Stephen, and St. John, we have the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries packed into three days.

I had never thought about these days in that way.

Joyful — Nativity
Glorious — St. John or St. Stephen
Sorrowful — Holy Innocents

How did the priest coorelate these days with the feasts?

Well we got also a fourth group of mysteries, the Mysteries of Light, where would you fit those in?
