The Luminous Mysteries - Meditations with the thoughts of Fr. Jan G贸ra
The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan
Love is the light that, from the moment of holy baptism, illuminates our interior. This is the mysterious action of Love revealing itself. The baptism of Christ is the beginning of the revelation of the Holy Trinity. Our baptism is the foundation of our life with Christ. Through baptism, out of love, we have been cast into the divine space. In the continuation of our conscious life, we must confirm this belonging of ours.
Let us pray that our entire adult life may be a consequence of holy baptism.
The Wedding at Cana
The changing of water into wine is the inner transformation of each one of us, brought about by Christ. For just as the water in the jars could not withstand the heat emanating from Christ's hands and began to transform, so we too, as jars filled with water, ought to be transformed in the proximity of Christ. We must draw close to Him, we must invite Him into our lives. Then He will perform the miracle.
Let us pray for a good transformation for all of us.
The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is within us, not on the outside. That is why we need conversion to this Love revealing itself. Its voice and Its call cannot remain unanswered. One cannot fail to respond to Love. We respond to it with our entire life.
Let us pray that we may be capable of responding to Love.
The Transfiguration
To see the lights of Tabor. To be with those whom Jesus took with Him. To see all of this and never doubt again. Doubt is a disease of the soul. Doubt paralyzes, disables, and bars access. Trying to cope with everyday reality and living from day to day, we live in the constant memory of love and the waiting for Love. Having seen the lights of Tabor, the Apostles were already different people.
Let us pray for a good memory of the Love we have experienced and for patience in waiting for Love.
The Institution of the Eucharist
To live, one must eat. To live forever, one must consume the food of eternity. Such food is the Word of God and the Eucharist. Whoever does not consume them has no life within them. The Eucharist is also the indwelling of Love in man. One must allow Love to dwell within oneself. The Eucharist is the food of Love.
Let us pray that Love may dwell among us.
