The First Luminous Mystery:  The Baptism of Our Lord


Reflections for each Hail, Mary:

  1. John is baptizing in the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance.
  2. "I am the voice of one crying in the desert, make straight the way of the Lord."
  3. "One mightier than I is coming after me."
  4. "I have baptized you with water, He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
  5. Seeing Jesus, John exclaims: "Behold the Lamb of God."
  6. After Jesus' baptism a voice from Heaven: "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."
  7. The Spirit descends upon Jesus in the form of a dove.
  8. In this heavenly manifestation is instituted the sacrament of baptism.
  9. The divine Trinity is manifested: the voice of the Father is heard as the Spirit descends upon the Son.
  10. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert for 40 days.


Glory be...
O, my Jesus...

The Second Luminous Mystery:  The Wedding at Cana where Christ manifested Himself

 

Reflections for each Hail, Mary:

  1. Jesus, His Mother and disciples were invited to a wedding in Cana.
  2. During the wedding feast the wine ran short.
  3. Mary turned to Jesus: "They have no wine."
  4. Jesus replied: "What would you have me do? My hour has not yet come."
  5. Mary said to the waiters: "Do whatever he tells you."
  6. There were six stone water jars, each holding fifteen to twenty gallons.
  7. Jesus bids the waiters to fill the jars with water, and then draw some out and take it to the chief steward.
  8. The chief steward said to the groom: "Every man serves the good wine first... but you have saved the good wine until now."
  9. At Mary’s request, Jesus worked His first miracle.
  10. By His presence, Christian marriage was raised to the dignity of a Sacrament.


Glory be...
O, my Jesus...
