Luminous Mysteries

Second Mystery: The Wedding at Cana

“Whatever he says to you, do it.”John 2:5

At a wedding feast in Cana, Mary notices that the wine has run out and brings the need to her Son. At her word the servants obey Him, and Jesus works His first sign, changing water into wine.

Fruit of the mystery: To Jesus through Mary

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

O good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds hide me. Do not let me be separated from you. From the malicious enemy defend me. In the hour of my death call me, and bid me come to you, that with your saints I may praise you for ever and ever. Amen.
