This session explores the powerful contrast between glory and suffering in Christ's life. The Transfiguration shines a light on His divine nature, while the Institution of the Eucharist emphasizes His self-giving love. Moving to the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Agony in the Garden captures the depth of His humanity, and the Scourging at the Pillar reveals profound suffering. Each mystery invites reflection on faith, surrender, and carrying our own burdens with grace.
