Useful links related to additional Rosary mysteries:

The three traditional Rosaries of the Marian Psalter form the foundation of this prayer, corresponding to the 150 Psalms of the Old Testament. Saint Pope John Paul II, in Rosarium Virginis Mariae, introduced an additional set of mysteries focused on the public ministry of Jesus: the Luminous Mysteries.

These four sets of mysteries now constitute the Rosary as officially approved by the Universal Church for both private and public prayer.

For personal devotion, however, the Rosary also allows great flexibility. Under the protective mantle of our Heavenly Mother, one may contemplate additional themes and create extended sets of mysteries. These may focus on healing—for example, meditations on the miraculous healings performed by Jesus—or other aspects of salvation history. Such extended Rosaries deepen or further illuminate the original four sets of mysteries.
