We begin with the Transfiguration, when Jesus is revealed in radiant glory before His disciples, strengthening their faith for what is to come. We then reflect on the Institution of the Eucharist, where He offers His Body and Blood as the everlasting sign of His love and presence. From there, we enter into the Agony in the Garden, joining Jesus in His deep prayer and surrender to the Father?s will. Finally, we meditate on the Scourging at the Pillar, recalling His courage, obedience, and unfathomable love even in the face of cruelty. Together, these mysteries draw us closer to the heart of Jesus, who unites divine majesty with humble sacrifice for our salvation. Today?s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration, Institution of the Eucharist, Agony in the Garden, and Scourging at the Pillar. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
