Summary
The Transfiguration, the Institution of the Eucharist, the Agony in the Garden, and the Scourging at the Pillar reveal Christ’s glory, His self-giving love, and His willing embrace of suffering for our salvation. Together, these mysteries trace the passage from glory to sacrifice, showing Christ as both radiant Son of God and suffering Servant. They call us to behold His glory, to receive His gift in the Eucharist, to surrender to God’s will in our trials, and to carry our sufferings with faith united to His. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration, the Institution of the Eucharist, the Agony in the Garden, and the Scourging at the Pillar. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
