It might seem a bit "gloom and doom" to focus so intently on a execution, but there’s a psychological and spiritual logic to it:Shared Suffering: They remind us that suffering is a universal human experience. By looking at these mysteries, one feels less alone in their own "Gethsemane."The Weight of Choice: The first mystery—the Agony—is arguably the most relatable. It’s about the mental anguish of knowing what you have to do and struggling to find the strength to do it.The Prelude to Hope: You can’t get to the Resurrection (the Joy) without passing through the Passion. It’s the "darkest before the dawn" philosophy in its most literal form."He who seeks not the cross of Christ seeks not the glory of Christ." — St. John of the Cross
