Rosary: Luminous Mysteries

   
   "Rosary:  Luminous Mysteries"
   
   When we pray the Holy Rosary, every bead is like a cannonball, especially if we get deep into the Holy Mysteries through mystical meditation.  Thursdays are great, for it's the day of the Luminous Mysteries--Mysteries contemplated upon least of the week, yet still theologically imperative.  Here they are:

1.)  The Baptism Of The Lord--remembering God's Words:  "This is My Son, in Whom I am well pleased."

2.)  The Wedding Of Cana--Mary turns to Jesus, saying:  "They have no wine."

3.)  The Proclamation Of The Kingdom--being reminded to make ourselves like unto little children, trusting in our Father.

4.)  The Transfiguration--Jesus is immaculately illuminated in a brilliant white shine, stating:  "I have not come to destroy the Law or the Prophets, but fulfill them."

5.)  The Institution Of The Eucharist--Christ saying:  "This cup is the new covenant in My Blood, shed for you."
