Luminous Mystery - 3

The 3rd Luminous Mystery of the Holy Rosary is The Proclamation of the Kingdom.



With this Mystery we are meditating in particular on the Sermon on the Mount.

Jesus, Son of God and Mary,
Climbed a hill in Galilee.
There he taught his twelve disciples
With a fresh authority.
'Happy those who have a pure heart,
God my Father they shall see.'

I shall quote the rest of this hymn (you can guess who wrote it!) tomorrow. No one had a purer heart than Mary - she was found worthy to bear the Saviour of the World. But we too are called to make Christ known today. We can pray 'Cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today.' Are we ready to receive Christ again at Christmas? There are only ten days to go!
