The Luminous Mysteries 

We pray these mysteries to remember the times when Jesus showed us who He is and how much He loves us.

1. The Baptism of Jesus

(Matthew 3:13-17)
Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan by His cousin, John the Baptist. When Jesus came out of the water, the Holy Spirit came down like a dove, and God’s voice said, “This is My beloved Son.”

Prayer: Jesus, help me to remember that I am God’s child, and He loves me very much.

2. The Wedding at Cana

(John 2:1-11)
At a wedding, the wine ran out, and Mary told Jesus about it. Jesus turned water into wine, showing His power and kindness. This was His first miracle!

Prayer: Jesus, help me to trust that You can help me when I have a problem.

3. The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God

(Mark 1:14-15)
Jesus went from town to town, teaching people about God’s love and inviting them to follow Him. He healed the sick, forgave sins, and taught us how to love one another.

Prayer: Jesus, help me to listen to Your words and share Your love with others.

4. The Transfiguration

(Luke 9:28-36)
Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain. Suddenly, His face and clothes became dazzling white! Moses and Elijah appeared, and God’s voice said, “This is My Son. Listen to Him.”

Prayer: Jesus, help me to see Your light in the world and follow You every day.

5. The Institution of the Eucharist

(Luke 22:19-20)
At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and wine and said, “This is My Body... This is My Blood.” He gave us the Eucharist so that we could always be close to Him.

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for giving us the Eucharist. Help me to love You with all my heart.
