Third Luminous Mystery - The Proclamation of the Kingdom

 

1. After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God (Mk 1:14)

4. Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them . . . and he preached the word to them. (Mk 2:2)
5. Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, some men opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down a mat on which a paralytic was lying. (Mk 2:4)
6. "Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, pick up your mat and walk?'" (Mk 2:9)
7. But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth" he said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home." (Mk 2:10-11)
8. And Jesus called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. (Mt 10:1)
9. Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them to make this proclamation: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." (cf. Mt 10:5 & 7)
10. Jesus breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained." (Jn 20:22-23)

Fourth Luminous Mystery - The Transfiguration

 

1. Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. (Lk 9:28)
2. And Jesus was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light (Mt 17:2)
3. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him (Mt 17:3)
4. They spoke of Jesus' exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. (Lk 9:31)
5. Then Peter said to Jesus "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Mt 17:4)
6. As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud (Lk 9:34)
7. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him." (Lk 9:35)
8. Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. (Mk 9:8)
9. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus told them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead (Mk 9:9)
10. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what rising from the dead meant (Mk 9:10).

Fifth Luminous Mystery - The Last Supper

 

1. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?" (Mt 26:17)
2. Jesus said, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, the teacher says, 'My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.'" (Mt 26:18)
3. When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." (Lk 22:14-15)
4. And while they were eating, he said, "Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me." (Mt 26:21)
5. Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" (Mt 26:25)
6. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." (Mt 26:26)
7. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins." (Mt 26:27-28)
8. As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. (1 Cor 11:26)
9. "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." (Jn 6:51)
10. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. (Jn 6:54) .

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, mourning 
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. 

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

 Amen
