Luminous Mysteries (The New "Mysteries of Light")
The Holy Father's newest Apostolic Letter - The Rosary of the Virgin Mary -
urges the faithful to pray the rosary more often.
On October 16, (the beginning of the twenty-fifth year of Pope’s Pontificate)
Pope John Paul II announced the addition of five new "mysteries of light" to the
centuries' old devotion of the rosary. He also announced the beginning of the "Year
of the Rosary" which will extend from mid-October 2002 to October 2003.
The five new luminous mysteries, which are to be recited on Thursdays, are:
Christ's baptism in the Jordan River.
The marriage of Cana.
Christ's announcement of the kingdom of God
The Transfiguration
The institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
In his Apostolic Letter, the Pope said that he did not wish to change the rosary,
but to contribute to its evolution as a prayer form.
The Rosary Card that you see on the right hand side lists all new Mysteries of
Light (Luminous Mysteries).
The Mysteries of Light - "Mysteries in which the Kingdom is revealed in the
person of Jesus."
1. Baptism in the Jordan - As Jesus descended into the waters, the Heavens were
opened and the mystery further revealed. The Father and Holy Spirit are present,
and John the Baptist testifies that "this is the one." Jesus, who did not know
sin, submitted to the Baptism of John as righteousness. May we humbly follow the
teachings of the Church out of a desire to fulfill the Will of the Father.
"Let it be so for now, it is proper to do this to fulfill all righteousness."
2. The Wedding at Cana - The first sign is accomplished at the request of the
first believer in Jesus, Mary. We learn that Jesus cares for our needs and
responds to our pleas. Mary teaches us to "do whatever he tells you." May we
remember that prayer is the first step in the best results, and that confident
obedience is the best action we can take.
"He did not realize where the wine had come from, but the servants who had drawn
the water knew. He called the bridegroom aside and said ... you have saved the
best until now."
3. Proclaiming the Kingdom - Jesus proclaims the Kingdom of God, calls us to
conversion, "and forgives the sins of all who draw near to him in humble trust."
(RVM) This mystery continues to the end of the world, as the Body of Christ
continues to preach the Gospel to all the earth. May we preach the Good News
always, most especially by our actions in everyday life.
"Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
"By this will they know you are mine, by your love for one another."
4. The Transfiguration - Most truly a mystery of light, the Transfiguration
revealed more about Jesus, and strengthened the Apostles in anticipation of the
coming sufferings. The face of Jesus shone like the Sun, and the Father reminds
those present, "This is my Son, my chosen, listen to him." In the presence of
such Glory, the Apostles do not know what to say. May we turn our thoughts to
the Glory of Christ often, and practice the contemplation that comes from being
speechless in the awesome presence of God.
"He did not know what to say..."
5. The Institution of the Eucharist - In his perfect love, Jesus gave himself to
his own under the appearance of bread and wine. This utterly new gift of God to
us, a perfect sacrifice on our behalf, reveals the depth of His love, the love
that gives his life itself to us. The Apostles could not fully grasp this until
later, and they have passed that knowledge on to our generation. May we receive
the gift of the Eucharist with sweet gratitude and deep devotion, and so be
transformed into the shape of Christ.
"This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
