The
Luminous Mysteries
(The Mysteries of Light)
(Said on Thursdays Throughout the Year)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The
Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River - The First Luminous Mystery
Mt 3:17
I
desire always to be an Obedient child of God
Here, as Christ descends into the waters, the innocent one who became
"sin" for our sake (2Cor 5:21), the heavens open wide and the voice of
the Father declares him the beloved Son, while the Spirit descends on him to
invest him with the mission which he is to carry out.
The
Wedding in Cana - The Second Luminous Mystery
Jn 2:1- 12
I
desire to always obey the words of Mary at Cana - "Do whatever He tells
you".
The first of the signs, given at Cana, when Christ changes water into wine,
and opens the hearts of the disciples to faith, thanks to the intervention of
Mary, the first among believers. Let us remember the things we are shown here:
the power of Mary's intercession; her absolute trust in the Lord, that He will
do whatever needs doing; Jesus uses the water meant for the ritual of ceremonial
washing, and transforms it into the wine which symbolizes the Blood of Christ,
and finally, we see the significance and honor Jesus shows toward the
Sacrament of Matrimony.
Jesus
Proclaims the Kingdom of God - The Third Luminous Mystery
Mk 1:15
Jesus,
I trust in You!
Jesus proclaims the coming of
the Kingdom of God, calls to conversion and forgives the sins of all who draw
near to him in humble trust (Mk 2:3-13; Lk 7:47- 48): the inauguration of that
ministry of mercy which he continues until the end of the world, particularly
through the Sacrament of Reconciliation ( Jn 20:22-23).
The
Transfiguration - The Fourth Luminous Mystery
Lk 9:35
Jesus,
I desire only to listen to You, always!
The glory of the Godhead shines forth from the face of Christ as the Father
commands the astonished Apostles to "listen to him" and to prepare to
experience with him the agony of the Passion, so as to come with him to the joy
of the Resurrection and a life transfigured by the Holy Spirit.
The
Last Supper -The Eucharist - The Fifth Luminous Mystery
Jn 13:1
Lord,
draw me as often as You will to Holy Communion. Through this Sacrament, through
Your presence within me, I can reach holiness.
The institution of the Eucharist, in which Christ offers his body and blood
as food under the signs of bread and wine, and testifies "to the end"
Jesus' love for humanity. The Holy Eucharist is a great means through which we are
made
to aspire to perfect holiness. But we must receive it with the desire and intent
of removing from our hearts all that is displeasing to Him. Kneel and render the
tribute of your presence and devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Confide
all your needs to Him. Speak to Him with abandonment, pour out your heart to
Him, and give him complete freedom to work in you as He feels is best.

"THE MEMORARE"
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled
to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left unaided, Inspired
with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, To thee I come,
before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer them.
AMEN.
"LAST PRAYER OF THE ROSARY"
O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection has purchased for
us the rewards of eternal salvation. Grant, we beseech thee, that meditating upon
the mysteries of the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
