Rosary Prayer Guide: Luminous Mysteries
FIRST MYSTERY: The Baptism of Jesus
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: OPENNESS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Mark 1: 9-11
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you, I am well pleased.”

Second Mystery: The Wedding at Cana
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: TO JESUS THROUGH MARY
John 2: 3, 7, 9
When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew),
John 2: 10-11
the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this, the first of His signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud, a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him, I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear.
