The lesson of enlightenment is conveyed by the Mysteries of Light.

The term "enlightenment" refers to modernity, and modernity promotes


liberation and freedom. They're known as "Light Mysteries" because
they shed light on who Jesus Christ is. He has a light figure. He is the
one who spreads light into the world. He views His public ministry, and
indeed His entire person and existence, as a mission of light.
The Lord's Baptism in the Jordan shows Jesus as the "Son of the
Father," one of the Trinity. The ultimate origin of Jesus is revealed by
God the Father Himself. He's the one who sends Him. As a result, Jesus
submits to the religious rite of conversion (baptism). He is God
embodied, and He is one of us. We, too, were baptized and given the new
title of Christian after Christ, just like Jesus. Let us be grateful to our
parents or guardians for initiating our baptism, which marks our
conversion to Christianity and membership in Christ's mystical body.
The wedding Feast of Cana, which commemorates Jesus' first
miracle, emphasizes His heavenly nature once more. He transforms
water into wine as the Son of God this time. God takes care of human
necessities. He is a God of commonplace occurrences. We celebrate the
establishment of the sacrament of matrimony with Him at Cana.
In the third mystery of light, we reflect on Christ's teaching on the
Proclamation of the Kingdom of God as a call to conversion. The
Proclamation of the Kingdom of God is a transformational mystery. It
indicates God's ultimate goal: the transformation of this earth and its
inhabitants into a new creation, God's Kingdom. In this mystery, the
light of Jesus is justice, peace, and, most importantly, love. However,
only if we respond to Christ's appeal to transform our lives and believe
in the Gospel can the light of the Kingdom shine brightly. To
successfully proclaim God's Word, one must lead a humble, honest and
sincere life, and be ready to always forgive as Jesus teaches us in the
Lord's Prayer in Matthew, Chapter 6.
The Transfiguration of Our Lord is the ultimate luminous mystery.
It heralds Christ's Resurrection, the ultimate triumph of light over
darkness, of life over death. We see the promise of our own resurrection
and eternal life in the glory of God shining forth from the face of Christ.
The joy of the Resurrection far surpasses the temporal sufferings of this
world. The Transfiguration was a sacred moment when heaven and
earth met through the person of Jesus.
In this fifth mystery of light, we reflect on the gift that Jesus left us
as the living memory of Him at the Last Supper: the gift of the Eucharist
that is at the very core of our faith. This expression of great love from
Jesus continues to nourish Christians of every age and walk of life. The
Institution of the Eucharist displays God's love's eternality and fidelity.
Under the symbol of bread and wine, Christ presents His body and
blood. This is how He expresses His love for humanity until the end.
These new mysteries are enlightening or revelatory. Christ, who is
one of us, is also the Father's son, a miracle worker, a challenging God,
the resurrected Lord, and God's love broken and shared with all of
humanity. The Rosary is made even more complete by the mysteries of
light. They also demonstrate that the Rosary is fundamentally a
Christian prayer.
