Third Mystery: The Proclamation of the Kingdom

“The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”Mark 1:15

Jesus goes into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, calling all to conversion, forgiving sins and healing the sick.

Fruit of the mystery: Repentance and trust in God

Jesus, I Trust in You

Jesus, I trust in you.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
