The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 233: The Transfiguration and Institution of the Eucharist

Episode Date: August 21, 2025

Leading us in prayer, Fr. Mark-Mark reflects on the Transfiguration and the gift of the Eucharist as these moments reveal Jesus’ divine identity and His enduring presence. We witness Jesus revealed in glory before the apostles on the mountain, affirmed by the voice of the Father and flanked by Moses and Elijah as the fulfillment of the law and prophets. Then, at the Last Supper, we behold the depth of His love as He gives Himself entirely in the Eucharist. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration and Institution of the Eucharist and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.
