Fourth Mystery: The Transfiguration

“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”Luke 9:35

On the mountain, before Peter, James and John, Jesus is transfigured: His face shines and His garments become dazzling white. Moses and Elijah speak with Him, and the Father’s voice comes from the cloud.

Fruit of the mystery: Desire for holiness

The Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
