The same term occurs four times in the Greek version of the Old Testament and always as a proclamation of joy in the coming of the Messiah (cf. Zeph 3:14, Joel 2:21; Zech 9:9; Lam 4:21). The Angel’s greeting to Mary is therefore an invitation to joy, deep joy. It announces an end to the sadness that exists in the world because of life’s limitations, suffering, death, wickedness, in all that seems to block out the light of the divine goodness.

These Mysteries concern events of Jesus' life during his childhood (Joyful Mysteries), Passion (Sorrowful Mysteries), and from his Resurrection onwards (Glorious Mysteries). Another set, the Luminous Mysteries, is of comparatively recent origin, having been proposed by <a href="/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Pope John Paul II">Pope John Paul II</a> in 2002. Each decade of Ave Maria is preceded by the <a href="/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer" title="Lord's Prayer">Our Father</a> (Pater Noster or <i>The Lord's Prayer</i>) and followed by the <a href="/wiki/Glory_Be_to_the_Father" class="mw-redirect" title="Glory Be to the Father">Glory Be</a> (Gloria Patri or <a href="/wiki/Doxology" title="Doxology">Doxology</a>). The repetition of these fixed-language prayers assists recitation from the heart rather than the head. <a href="/wiki/Pope_Paul_V" title="Pope Paul V">Pope Paul V</a> said that "the Rosary is a treasure of graces ... even for those souls who pray without meditating, the simple act of taking the beads in hand to pray is already a remembrance of God – of the supernatural".<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
