Luminous Mysteries

Prayed on Thursday

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” (Jn 8:12). Yet this truth emerges in a special way during the years of his public life, when he proclaims the Gospel of the Kingdom….  Each of these mysteries is a revelation of the Kingdom now present in the very person of Jesus. – Pope John Paul II
