The Mysteries of the Body (Mysterium Corpus: Christ’s Body Living in Human's Bodies) (S. Kurait prays it on Mondays) This is a suggested Mysteries and not approved by the Catholic Church:

  1. First Mystery of the Body: God so loved man that He designed the body of the chaste virgin man in the image of the Holy Trinity. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the chaste faithful virgin man. Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God said: ”Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. God created man in His Image, in the Divine Image He created him, male and female He created them.”

  2. Second Mystery of the Body: God so loved the woman that He designed the body of the chaste virgin woman in the image of the Holy Trinity. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the chaste faithful virgin woman. Genesis 2:22, “The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.”

  3. Third Mystery of the Body: God so loved man and woman that He designed the valid conjugal union to transform the two into one flesh. Thus the two together with the Living Spirit of God would reflect the Holy Trinity. Therefore, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the validly pure and faithful conjugal person. Genesis 2: 23-24, "This one, at last, is bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh …. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh."

  4. Fourth Mystery of the Body: Christ affirmed that from the beginning God designed the bodies of the validly married couple to transform permanently into one flesh. And Christ called the separated couple, single man and single woman, to remain chaste so man and woman would always reflect the image of the Holy Trinity. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the body of the separated chaste faithful man and woman. Mark 10: 2-12, Jesus said in reply, "But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female, and the two shall become one flesh.’ Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” Mathew 5:48 And Jesus calls us, “Therefore, be perfect as your heavenly Father is Perfect.”

  5. Fifth Mystery of the Body: The Holy Trinity in the Baptized and in those worthily nourishing on the Holy Eucharist would birth and shape the receiver into a new Ark of the Covenant. The suffering Servant Jesus immolates Himself to become one flesh with the valid receiver in a sacrificial Marital Bond, and to melt with the receiver in as much as the receiver responds to Christ. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to Christ living on earth in every formed and nourished new Ark of the Covenant. “He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood abides in Me and I in him.” (John 6:57). “I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.” (John 17:23). “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” (Galatian 2:20). “The body ... is ... for the LORD, and the LORD is for the body... and that you are not your own.” (1Corinthians 6:13,19)
