Summary

Beginning our decades with the Luminous Mysteries, we contemplate the Transfiguration and the Institution of the Eucharist. In these events, Christ points toward His Passion and prepares His disciples for the trials to come. We then enter the Sorrowful Mysteries, where His Passion unfolds with the Agony in the Garden. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration, Institution of the Eucharist, and the Agony in the Garden. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
