The Luminous Mysteries - Moving on from the infancy and the hidden life in Nazareth to the public life of Jesus, our contemplation brings us to those mysteries which may be called in a special way "mysteries of light." Certainly, the whole mystery of Christ is a mystery of light. He is the "Light of the world" (John 8:12). Yet this truth emerges in a special way during the years of His public life.

First Luminous Mystery
Baptism of Jesus

And when Jesus was baptized...the heavens were opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on Him, and lo, a voice from heaven, saying "this is My beloved Son," with whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:16-17)
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: Openness to the Holy Spirit

Pray One Our Father, Ten Hail Marys, One Glory Be, etc.

Second Luminous Mystery

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever He tells you."...Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. (John 2:5-7)
