The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 275: The Joyful and Luminous Mysteries

Episode Date: October 2, 2025

We move through a set of mysteries that span both the Joyful and Luminous moments of Christ’s life. Beginning with the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, Mary and Joseph discover Jesus among the teachers, revealing His deep union with the Father’s will even as a child. Entering into the Baptism in the Jordan, we witness Jesus humbly step into the waters as he is revealed as the beloved Son. Next, we reflect on the Wedding at Cana, where Christ performs His first public miracle at Mary’s request, transforming water into wine. Finally, we pray with the Proclamation of the Kingdom, remembering how Jesus announced the Good News and called all people to conversion and faith. Together, these mysteries invite us to grow in trust, obedience, and a renewed openness to the transforming power of God’s grace. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, the Baptism in the Jordan, the Wedding at Cana, and the Proclamation of the Kingdom. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.
