August 6, 2020, Transfiguration Feast: Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

[Comment: God’s Face]

Friends of the Rosary,

We commemorate today the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord (MT 17:1-9), the biblical passage we reflect on the fourth Luminous mystery.

Before his Passion and Death, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them to a retired mountain. There, the Man-God appeared transfigured in a brilliant white light. The three apostles present were wonderfully delighted with the glorious vision, which included Moses and Elijah.

The Transfiguration showed that Jesus’ redeeming work had two phases: the suffering of the Cross and the glory of the Resurrection.

The Transfiguration anticipated the glory of heaven, where we will see the Lord face to face.
