Third Luminous Mystery: The Proclamation of the Kingdom
Jesus proclaims the Kingdom of God and calls us to conversion.
Scripture: Mark 1:15
“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
Additional Scripture: Luke 4:18-19
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.”
Meditation: Jesus announces the Good News and calls all people to repentance. He heals the sick and forgives sinners.
