The Transfiguration
The Transfiguration is the fourth of the five Luminous Mysteries of the rosary, prayed on Thursdays.
And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. … And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
Matthew 17:1-2, 17:5 (Douay-Rheims)
