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
