Mysteries initiated by Pope John Paul II are the Luminous Mysteries -- all founded in Scripture. We mediate on these mysteries as we say the rosary.

The Luminous Mysteries or Mysteries of Light
(Thursdays) see Rosarium Virginis Mariae
1. Jesus' Baptism in the Jordan (II Corinthians 5:21, Matthew 3:17 and parallels) [Spiritual fruit - Gratitude for the gift of Faith]
2. Jesus' self-manifestation at the wedding of Cana (John 2:1- 12) [Spiritual fruit - Fidelity]
3. Jesus' proclamation of the Kingdom of God, with His call to conversion (Mark 1:15, Mark 2:3-13; Luke 7:47- 48, John 20:22-23) [Spiritual fruit - Desire for Holiness]
4. Jesus' Transfiguration (Luke 9:35 and parallels) [Spiritual fruit - Spiritual Courage]
5. Jesus' institution of the Eucharist, as the sacramental expression of the Paschal Mystery. (Luke 24:13-35 and parallels, 1 Corinthians 11:24-25) [Spiritual fruit - Love of our Eucharistic Lord]

Jesus isn’t the problem with the mysteries.. it is the final 5two- the assumption and the coronation of Mary. As Queen of Heaven amd Earth. ..

The bible talks about the queen of heaven.
In Jeremiah certainly and it ISN’T GOOD. I would be curious how many Catholics haveba statue of Our lady of fatima in their home, churches..
Jeremiah 7

18 The [a] children gather wood,and the fathers kindle the fire,and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to spite Me. 19 Do they spite Me?” declares the LORD. “Is it not themselves they spite,to [b] their own shame?” 20 Therefore thus says the Lord [c] GOD,“Behold,My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place,on man and on beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched.
Jeremiah 44:17-30

17 But rather we will certainly carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, [a] by burning [b] sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her,just as we ourselves,our forefathers,our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of [c] food and were well off and saw no [d] misfortune. 18 But since we stopped burning [e] sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her,we have lacked everything and have [f] met our end by the sword and by famine.” 19 “And,” said the women,“when we were burning [g] sacrifices to the queen of heaven and [h] were pouring out drink offerings to her,was it without our husbands that we made for her sacrificial cakes [i] in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

Calamity for the Jews

20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people,to the men and women—even to all the people who were giving him such an answer—saying, 21 “As for the [j] smoking sacrifices that you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem,you and your forefathers,your kings and your princes,and the people of the land,did not the LORD remember them and did not all this come into His [k] mind? 22 So the LORD was no longer able to endure it, because of the evil of your deeds,because of the abominations which you have committed; thus your land has become a ruin,an object of horror and a curse,without an inhabitant,as it is this day. 23 Because you have burned [l] sacrifices and have sinned against the LORD and not obeyed the voice of the LORD or walked in His law,His statutes or His testimonies,therefore this calamity has befallen you,as it has this day.”

24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people,including all the women,“Hear the word of the LORD,all Judah who are in the land of Egypt, 25 thus says the LORD of hosts,the God of Israel,as follows: ‘As for you and your wives,you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled it with your hands,saying,“We will certainly perform our vows that we have vowed,to burn [m] sacrifices to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.” [n] Go ahead and confirm your vows,and certainly perform your vows!’ 26 [o] Nevertheless hear the word of the LORD,all Judah who are living in the land of Egypt,‘Behold,I have sworn by My great name,’ says the LORD,‘never shall My name be invoked again by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying,“As the Lord [p] GOD lives.” 27 Behold,I am watching over them for harm and not for good,and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will [q] meet their end by the sword and by famine until they [r] are completely gone. 28 Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah [s] few in number. Then all the remnant of Judah who have gone to the land of Egypt to reside there will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs. 29 This will be the sign to you,’ declares the LORD,‘that I am going to punish you in this place,so that you may know that My words will surely stand against you for harm.’ 30 Thus says the LORD,‘Behold,I am going to give over Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt to the hand of his enemies,to the hand of those who seek his life,just as I gave over Zedekiah king of Judah to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,who was his enemy and was seeking his life.’”
