Luminous Mysteries

Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised by John in the Jordan.

As He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being opened and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove.

“You are My beloved Son; with You I am well pleased.”

Through Baptism, we are immersed in an inexhaustible source of life: the love of Jesus.

Through this love, we can live a new life, in communion with God and with our brothers and sisters.

Let us ask the Lord to help us experience ever more deeply this grace that we received in Baptism.

When the wine ran out, the Mother of Jesus said to Him:

“They have no wine.”

“Woman, what is this to Me and to you? My hour has not yet come.”

Mary turned to the servants:

“Do whatever He tells you.”

True joy does not come from possessions or favourable circumstances.

It is born from the deep harmony between people and from the beauty of walking together.

At the heart of this joy is the presence of God: His welcoming, merciful and patient love.

Only God knows how to create harmony from our differences.

Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the Gospel of God.

“The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand.

Repent and believe in the Gospel.”

The Good News that Jesus brings is for everyone.

It is also for those who no longer expect anything, or who have lost the strength to keep searching.

Jesus teaches us that no one is excluded from God’s salvation.

Let us allow ourselves to be reached by His gaze and by His voice.

And let us follow Him, so that the joy of the Gospel may reach everyone.

Jesus went up the mountain to pray.

As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became dazzling white.

A cloud enveloped them.

“This is My chosen Son.

Listen to Him.”

We have hope in the Resurrection because Jesus has opened the door to that life for us.

Our transformation begins here and now, in our relationship with Him.

We believe that Jesus rose from the dead.

We believe that Jesus is alive at this very moment.

And the power of His Resurrection will also transform our lives.

Jesus took the bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave it to the disciples, saying:

“This is My Body, which is given for you.”

“Do this in memory of Me.”

At the Last Supper, Jesus makes Himself bread broken for us.

In the Eucharist, He pours out His mercy and His love upon us, renewing our hearts and our relationship with God and with our brothers and sisters.

To receive Communion is to allow the Holy Spirit to conform us ever more closely to Christ.
