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.

Fr. Mark-Mary prays through the Glorious Mysteries, inviting us to trust more deeply in Jesus’ nearness and mercy. While meditating on the Resurrection, we look to Caravaggio’s Incredulity of St. Thomas and see Christ meeting our doubts with tenderness. In the Ascension, He becomes even more present to us without spatial limitations. At Pentecost, Jean Restout’s depiction of Mary steady beneath the tongues of fire inspires us to welcome the Holy Spirit with renewed boldness. We contemplate Mary as the New Ark of the Covenant in her Assumption and rejoice in her loving intercession as Queen in her Coronation. Today’s focus is the Glorious Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary.
