The Luminous Mysteries
The First Luminous Mystery:
Baptism in the Jordan
Fruits of the Mystery:
Openness to the Holy Spirit / Submission to the Father’s Will
[A] And when Jesus had been baptized, He at once came up from the water and suddenly the heavens opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven. “This is my Son, the Beloved; my favor rests on Him.” (Mt 3:16-17)
[B] “The Baptism in the Jordan is first of all a mystery of light. Here, as Christ descends into the waters, the innocent one who became ‘sin’ for our sake, 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” (R.V.M., Pope John Paul II)
[C] “Understand then how your true act of consecration is that of baptism. By this sacrament, instituted by Jesus, grace is communicated to you, placing you in an order of life higher than your own, namely the supernatural life. Through this you participate in the divine nature, you enter into a communion of love with God, and your actions, accordingly, have a new value exceeding that of your nature, because they have a value which is truly divine.”
One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, Glory be to the Father, O My Jesus …
The Second Luminous Mystery:
The wedding at Cana: Christ changes water into wine – his first public miracle
Fruits of the Mystery: Faith / To Jesus through Mary
[A] “… the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.” Jesus said, ‘Woman what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.” His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever He tells you.’” (Jn 2:4-6)
[B] “Another mystery of light is 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.” (R.V.M., Pope John Paul II)
[C] “When you invite me to pray for you. I accede to your request and mingle my voice with yours, and I unite my prayer to yours. (…) What I ask for I ask for I always obtain, because Jesus can never say no to what his Mother requests of Him.”
One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, Glory be to the Father, O My Jesus …
The Third Luminous Mystery:
Proclamation of the Kingdom – Jesus calls to conversion and the forgiveness of sins of all who draw near to him.
Fruits of the Mystery: Sincere Repentance and Trust in God
[A] “After John had been arrested, Jesus went into Galilee. There he proclaimed the gospel from God saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the gospel.” (Mk 1:14-15)
[B] “Another mystery of light is the preaching by which 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; the inauguration of that ministry of mercy which He continues to exercise until the end of the world, particularly through the Sacrament of Reconciliation which he has entrusted to his Church.” (R.V.M., Pope John Paul II)
[C] “I am the Mother of the Second Evangelization. I am guiding you as a start along the bright way of fidelity to Christ and to his Gospel. You need to return to a belief in the Gospel of Jesus.” (467h)
One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, Glory be to the Father, O My Jesus …
The Fourth Luminous Mystery:
The Transfiguration
Fruits of the Mystery: Hope / The Desire for Holiness
[A] “A voice cam from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to Him’” (Lk 9:25)
[B] “The mystery of light par excellence is the Transfiguration, traditionally believed to have taken place on Mount Tabor. 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.” (R.V.M., Pope John Paul II)
[C] “As He was transfigured on Mount Tabor in the presence of the three Apostles, Peter, James and John, so also will He manifest Himself to you in the splendor of his divine glory, if you climb with me the holy mountain of humility and littleness, of love and purity, of silence and prayer.” (597b)
One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, Glory be to the Father, O My Jesus …
The Fifth Luminous Mystery:
The Institution of the Eucharist
Fruits of the Mystery: Intimate Communion with God / Adoration
[A] “Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.” (LK 22: 19-20)
[B] “A final mystery of light is 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’ His love for humanity, for whose salvation He will offer Himself in sacrifice.” (R.V.M., Pope John Paul II)
[C] “Enter into the cenacle of His divine love, to savor all the sweetness of this Last Supper. Jesus gives His body and His blood as spiritual food and drink for your new life. He wants thus to unite Himself intimately with each one of you, to the point of becoming totally one with you.” (590d)
One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, Glory be to the Father, O My Jesus …
We beseech Thee, dear Lord Jesus, by the twenty mysteries of Your life, death, passion and resurrection, by Thy glory and by the merits of Your Blessed Mother to convert sinners and help the dying, to deliver the Holy Souls from purgatory and to give us all Your grace so that we may live well and die well — and please give us the Light of Your glory later on so that we may see You face to face and love You for all eternity. Amen. So be it. God Alone.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve;
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Morning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious Advocate,
Thine eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile
Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus;
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let Us Pray
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries in the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise through the same Christ our Lord.
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, we fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins and Mother;
To thee do we come;
Before thee do we stand, sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
Despise not our petitions,
But in thy mercy hear and answer us.
Amen
The above rosary prayers were collected from the book
