Fourth Luminous Mystery: The Transfiguration of Jesus
While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem… Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him." (see Luke 9:29-35)
Christ sheds his powerful light and warmth on everyone, without offending our human nature, so that we may put into practice the most sublime of virtues and reach the heights of heroic Christian lives. What is not eternal means nothing. Christ will be adored and served by the rulers of all the nations. He is the one sent by God who sheds his light and his salvation to the ends of the earth. (Blessed Guido M. Conforti)
