We will be concluding the Luminous Mysteries and then we'll begin the Sorrowful Mysteries. So we'll pray the fourth Luminous Mystery, the Transfiguration, the fifth Luminous Mystery, the Institution of the Eucharist, and then the first two Sorrowful Mysteries, the Agony in the Garden and the Scourging at the Pillar. We'll begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
