Summary
Today, we pray and meditate on the Luminous mysteries. We can draw on our mental archive, reminded of Jesus and Mary’s awareness of the couple’s needs at the Wedding Feast at Cana, and therefore our needs. In the Proclamation of the Kingdom, we’re reminded that God is here, and he is acting in the world. Finally, we can think back to the glory of the Transfiguration, God’s light visible, shining through Jesus. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Wedding at Cana, the Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Repentance, and the Transfiguration. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
