Summary
Concluding the Luminous mysteries, we recall Our Lord’s divinity as he is transfigured on the mountain and shares himself, body, blood, soul, and divinity with us in the Eucharist. Stepping into the Sorrowful mysteries, after the Last Supper we have just mediated upon, we witness his agony in preparation to offer himself up for our salvation. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration, the Institution of the Eucharist, and the Agony in the Garden. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
