The Glorious EP tries as it might to convey some sense of the dazzling, astonishing, and celestial nature of the five Glorious Mysteries. As is the case with all of the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, it is easy to become complacent in our thoughts and recollection of these amazing accounts, which over time can become so familiar that we have to shake ourselves out of our mental slumber to truly remember and appreciate the gravity and importance of each event.

"Why do you seek the living among the dead?"

The EP opens with the main event of human history and tries to recount the earliest moments, hours, and days after the Resurrection. The remaining tracks attempt to flow in a manner similar to the Scriptural Rosary, employing Gospel passages and imagery to explore each particular mystery from multiple viewpoints.

Always pray the Rosary first, but if you have time after, hopefully this EP provides a soundtrack of sorts to assist in additional reflection on the Resurrection, the Ascension, Pentecost, the Assumption, and the Coronation.

Gloria Patri!
