The Luminous Mysteries – Part 1 : Growing in the mission of Christ. In the first Mystery, the Baptism of Jesus, we say yes to growth. The Father sees us sprouting and says, “This is my beloved child with whom I am well pleased!” (Matt. 3:13-17). In the Wedding at Cana, Jesus turns our ordinary water into extraordinary wine. In the third Mystery, Preaching the Good News, we learn more about what Jesus is really like.
