Decade 4 of 5 • Luminous Mysteries (Mysteries of Light)

The Transfiguration

Spiritual Fruit: Desire for Holiness & Contemplation

Biblical Text (Luke 9:28–36; Matthew 17:1–8)
"And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white... And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!""

Contemplation on The Transfiguration

On Mount Tabor, Jesus manifests His uncreated divine glory before Peter, James, and John alongside Moses and Elijah.

As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Desire for Holiness & Contemplation, in our daily lives.

Doxological Conclusion

Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be

At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
