FOURTH LUMINOUS MYSTERY
THE TRANSFIGURATION OF
CHRIST
Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John off by themselves with Him and led them up a high mountain. He was transfigured before their eyes and His clothes became dazzlingly white-whiter than any bleacher could make them.... A cloud came overshadowing them, and out of the cloud a voice: "This is My Son, My Beloved. Listen to Him." (Mk. 9:2-8)
FATIMA AND THE MYSTERY
A similar light radiated from Mary at Fatima. In Lucia's words about the First Apparition: "Our Lady opened her hands for the first time, communicating to us a light so intense that, as it streamed from her hands, its rays penetrated our hearts and the inmost depths of our souls, making us see ourselves in God, Who was that light.... Then, moved by an interior impulse that was also communicated to us, we fell on our knees, repeating in our hearts: `O most Holy Trinity, I adore You! My God, my God, I love You in the Most Blessed Sacrament!"'
