After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him. Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. -The 4th Luminous Mystery

Patron Saints

Question from Erich Feldhaus on 2/29/2008:

What is the proper way to ask a Saint for prayers to God, and what Saint should be ask for the health of my children? Thank you . Big fan of EWTN.

Answer by David Gregson on 4/24/2008:
You can just call on the Saint by name, and add, "pray for me," or in this case, "pray for the health of my children." One popular patron of children is St. Nicholas. It's always good to be specific in prayer, as to what exactly you're asking for, whether to God or to one of His Saints.
