Luminous Mysteries

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

Come, Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.

V. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
