I.
Mystery of Light
The
Baptism of Jesus
 Then
Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by
you, and do you come to me?" Jesus replied, "Let it be so now;
it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness."
Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up
out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw
the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.
And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with
him I am well pleased. (Mt 3, 13-17)
Meditating this
mystery we pray one Our Father, ten Hail Maries, Glory
Be and The Fatima Prayer.

II.
Mystery of Light
The Wedding
of Cana
 On the third
day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was
there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the
wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him,
"They have no more wine."
"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has
not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he
tells you." Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by
the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to
thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with
water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now
draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They
did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had
been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come
from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he
called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone brings out the
choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests
have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till
now."
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana
of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put
their faith in him. (Jn 2, 1-12)
Meditating this
mystery we pray one Our Father, ten Hail Maries, Glory
Be and The Fatima Prayer.

IV.
Mystery of Light
The Transfiguration
 About
eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James
with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. As he was praying,
the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as
bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah,
appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke
about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment
at Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but
when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men
standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to
him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three
shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He
did not know what he was saying.) While he was speaking, a cloud
appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they
entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is
my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." When the voice had
spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this
to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.(Luk
9, 28-35)
Meditating this
mystery we pray one Our Father, ten Hail Maries, Glory
Be and The Fatima Prayer.

V.
Mystery of Light
The Institution of the Eucharist
 While they
were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and
gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body."
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and
they all drank from it.
"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for
many," he said to them. "I tell you the truth, I will not drink
again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it
anew in the kingdom of God." (Mk 14,22-25)
Meditating this mystery we
pray one Our Father, ten Hail Maries, Glory Be
and The Fatima Prayer.
At the end of the Rosary
it is recommended to pray one Our Father, Hail Mary and
Glory Be, and the Litanies of Loreto and The
Hail, Holy Queen.
