In this month of the Holy Rosary, we are pleased to introduce our new series of short reflections, ‘A Minute with Mary’. For the month of October Paul will cover each of the mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
The Fourth Luminous Mystery: the Transfiguration
“And he was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became dazzling white.” (Matt 17:2)

When Jesus’ body was transfigured we are reminded of our final destiny and true reality – that like Jesus, we the faithful, are destined for eternal glory.
As Our Lady once said, ‘this life is but a drop in the ocean of eternity!’ What wonders did the apostles witness that day! How they must have treasured this experience in their hearts for the rest of their lives. They would have been able to draw strength from that experience when the times got difficult. But we too have rare special moments of grace when we glimpse the glory of God.
What are the special moments for you when Jesus or Mary deeply touched your heart? Do you still treasure those moments now or have you allowed your reasoning to dismiss them? Let us remember to give thanks for the unique experiences of grace that God allowed to speak only to us – that’s why no one else understands them. What strength we can draw, right now, from those special moments!
