Day 255: The Joyful and Luminous Mysteries

Concluding the Joyful Mysteries and entering into the Luminous Mysteries, we follow the unfolding revelation of Christ’s identity. In the Presentation at the Temple, the Infant Jesus is offered to the Father, fulfilling the Law and shining forth as the promised Savior. In the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, we behold the young Jesus in His Father’s house, revealing divine wisdom and reminding us that He is always about His Father’s work. In the Baptism of Jesus, we witness the beginning of His public ministry, as the Holy Spirit descends and the Father proclaims Jesus as His beloved Son. In these mysteries, we are called to dedicate ourselves to God, to seek Him with faithful hearts, and to embrace our identity as beloved children of the Father. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Presentation in the Temple, the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, and the Baptism of Jesus. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
