Summary

Together, we pray and follow Christ as His mission is revealed. The Finding of Jesus in the Temple, the Baptism of Jesus, the Wedding at Cana, and the Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Conversion invite us to trust Him more deeply, to receive His Word with open hearts, and to follow faithfully in His footsteps. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, the Baptism of Jesus, the Wedding at Cana, and the Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Conversion. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
