This Marist prayer resource centers on Matthew 17:1–9, the story of the Transfiguration, where Jesus reveals His divine glory to Peter, James, and John on the mountain, accompanied by Moses and Elijah, and God’s voice calls the disciples to listen to His Beloved Son. Framed in the Marist tradition, it invites participants to see their own lives as “mountains” to climb—spaces of challenge, uncertainty, and transformation—where, like the Israelites in the desert or Jonah in flight, they are called to leave comfort behind and trust God’s guidance. The resource integrates scripture, reflection questions, communal prayers, and music such as “Will You Come and Follow Me (The Summons),” offering multiple ways to engage: personal contemplation on spiritual challenges, communal expression of intentions, and prayerful meditation through song. Together, these elements create a complete encounter with God, encouraging participants to recognize moments of transformation, surrender to His ongoing work in their lives, and carry the light of Christ from the mountain into ordinary daily life.
