636 Meditation on the 1st Luminous Mystery: The Baptism of Jesus Christ
636.
Meditation on the 1st Luminous Mystery:
The Baptism of Jesus Christ
When Jesus reached adulthood, He came to John
(The voice in the wilderness who would prepare the path for God the Son)
And when John saw the Son of God coming to him, he declared to manifold
(“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”)
This is the 1st Luminous Mystery – The Baptism of Jesus Christ
At first, John refused to baptize Jesus, thinking he is not worthy
(But the Lord told him to fulfill the order and let it be)
And when Jesus Christ was baptized in the river Jordan
(A voice from heaven proclaimed He is the Chosen One)
The fruit of this mystery – Openness to the Holy Spirit
Oh God who had made Thy Holy Spirit come down to Jesus Christ
(As Thy Chosen one in the Jordan by John was baptized)
The God who baptizes with the Holy Spirit
(So that man & God can meet)
As “The Baptism of Jesus Christ” had shown “Openness to the Holy Spirit”
Oh God, like in “The Baptism of Jesus Christ”, we welcome Thy Holy Ghost
(For we also want to be with Thy heavenly host)
Like Jesus & John the Baptist who were open to Thee
(We welcome in our life the God Almighty)
Praise God! We realized “Openness to the Holy Spirit” through the 1st Luminous Mystery.
