The Fourth Luminous Mystery

THE TRANSFIGURATION

Fruit: Desire for Holiness

Lord, thank you for coming into this world as fully human so that we may form a personal relationship with You. May I never take Your teachings as mere guidance or philosophy from a learned teacher, but instead realize that these are the teachings of our Heavenly Father.

1

Holy Mother, I rejoice that God so loved me that He humbled himself and became human.
2

Holy Mother, I pray that I take Jesus’ words as God’s Truth and not just the good advice of a scholar.
3

Holy Mother, I pray that I make an effort to have a personal relationship with God since God tries to have a personal relationship with me through His son, Jesus Christ.
4

Holy Mother, I pray for God's mercy on those who do not listen to Jesus' teaching.
5

Holy Mother, I pray that I make time for Jesus to show himself to me in His glory through prayer and adoration.
6

Holy Mother, I pray that I make an effort to eliminate distractions in my life that prevent me from truly experiencing God’s grace.
7

Oh Lord, transfigure me through the Sacrament of Reconciliation from being bound by sin to free in Your grace.
8

Holy Mother, I pray that I take the time to examine my conscious and see what areas of my life need to be transfigured from sin to grace.
9

Holy Mother, I pray that I honor Jesus with my every word, thought, and action.
10

Holy Mother, I pray that I not fear God’s awesome power, but take comfort in His awesome capacity to love.

“Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:27)
2

About eight days after He said this, He took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray. (Luke 9:28)
3

While He was praying His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white. (Luke 9:29)
4

And behold, two men were conversing with Him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His exodus that He was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. (Luke 9:30-31)
5

Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. (Luke 9:32)
6

As they were about to part from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (Luke 9:33)
7

But he did not know what he was saying. (Luke 9:33)
8

While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. (Luke 9:34)
9

Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to Him.” (Luke 9:35)
10

After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen. (Luke 9:36)
