Meditation:
As it says in Rev. 12:1-10, “She gave birth to a son…. Her child was snatched up to God and His throne…. Now have salvation and power come … and the authority of Christ the Anointed One.”
The Ascension of Jesus made it clear that he hold a place of supreme authority in Heaven. Even though Mary was the mother of Jesus and he respected her authority as a parent, she freely gave herself over to His authority from the moment she said “yes, let it be done to me as the Father wills” and Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy spirit. How fully have we let Jesus be in authority over us? Let us ask the Blessed Mother to help us put aside our own will when it conflicts with His.
Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen!
Together we pray:
Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell;
lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those most in need of Your Mercy. Meditation

This sounds like the first joyful mystery meditation, is there another medition explanation for the ascension into heaven?
Thank you for pointing this out, Kate. Our meditations on the Rosary are seen through the eyes of Mary. The Mystery of the Ascension of Jesus shows us his authority. This mediation invites us to submit to his authority.
