Summary
Gathering in prayer, we turn to the Luminous Mysteries as Fr. Mark-Mary invites us to rediscover our identity as the Father’s beloved children in the light of Jesus’ Baptism. At the Wedding at Cana, we reflect on Mary’s courageous willingness to offer her Son for the sake of God’s plan and the good of the world. Jesus proclaims the Kingdom and calls us to open our hearts, and during the Transfiguration, He reveals a glory that draws us beyond our distractions and into deeper wonder. In the Eucharist, we encounter the burning desire of Jesus’ heart for communion with us. Today’s focus is the Luminous Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary.
