THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES
1. The Baptism In The Jordan
After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the Heaven were opened for him and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to Him.
And a voice came from Heaven saying "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."(Mt.3:16-17)
2. Jesus Self -Manifestation At Cana
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there... When the wine ran short Mary said toHim, "They have no wine." Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come."
His mother told the servers, "Do whatever He tells you."
(John 2:1-11)
3. The Proclamation Of The Kingdom And The Call To Conversion
After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
(Mark 1:14-15)
4. The Transfiguration
While Jesus was praying His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white. And behold two men were conversing with Him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His exodus that He was going to accomplish in Jerusalem."
(Luke 9:28-31)
5. The Institution Of The Eucharist
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
(John 6:51)
THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES
(Thursdays)
Moving on from the infancy and the hidden life in Nazareth to the public life of Jesus, our contemplation brings us to those mysteries which may be called in a special way “mysteries of light". Certainly the whole mystery of Christ is a mystery of light. He is the “light of the world" (Jn 8:12). Yet this truth emerges in a special way during the years of his public life, when he proclaims the Gospel of the Kingdom.... Each of these mysteries is a revelation of the Kingdom now present in the very person of Jesus.
