First Mystery: The Baptism of the Lord

“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”Matthew 3:17

Jesus is baptized by John in the Jordan. The heavens open, the Spirit of God descends upon Him like a dove, and the voice of the Father is heard.

Fruit of the mystery: Openness to the Holy Spirit

A prayer with Saint Cecilia

Lord Jesus, you gave Saint Cecilia the courage to bear witness to you even to the shedding of blood. By the prayers of Saint Cecilia, make me steadfast in faith and unafraid to follow you. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace…
