In October 2002, the month of the Holy Rosary,
Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, issued a special apostolic letter in which
he announced the creation of a new set of Mysteries to be used in praying the
Rosary.
Our Holy Father states: "The Rosary
clearly belongs to the kind of veneration of the Mother of God described by the
Second Vatican Council: a devotion directed to the Christological center of the
Christian faith, in such a way that when the Mother is honored, the Son...is duly known, loved and glorified."
The new Mysteries center around decisive
events in the life of Christ. Our Holy Father calls them "The Mysteries of
Light" because Christ in his public life manifests himself as the
"Mystery of Light." These events are:
The Five Mysteries of Light
Said on Thursday
1. His Baptism in the Jordan
2. His self-manifestation at the wedding
of Cana,
3. His
proclamation of the Kingdom
of God, with his call to conversion.
4. His
transfiguration,
5. His
institution of the Eucharist, as the
sacramental expression of the Paschal
mystery.
The group of mysteries will be called the
"luminous" mysteries. The Pope suggests that they be prayed on
Thursday. The joyful mysteries would be used on Monday and Saturday, the
sorrowful on Tuesday and Friday, the glorious on Wednesday and Sunday.
