Anchored in Light: A Retreat Guide on the Transfiguration of the Lord

Anchored in Light | A Regnum Christi Retreat Guide on the Transfiguration with Fr. John Bartunek, LC

Contemplating the Mystery of the Transfiguration, and discovering what it has to say to each one of us, will be the task of this Retreat Guide, Anchored in Light.

  • The First Meditation unpacks the spiritual meaning behind each detail of this mysterious encounter.
  • The Second Meditation explores how those three Apostles who witnessed the Transfiguration applied that meaning to their lives.
  • And the Conference delves into how we can apply its meaning to our own lives through exercising the virtue of hope. To that end, we will also gather some valuable wisdom from the Old Testament book of Joshua.

The Personal Questionnaire/Group discussion questions are available in the Companion Guide Book or Small Group Companion Guide. Either download the PDF Companion Guide Book or purchase it. The Companion Guide Book is available for purchase as a paperback or on Kindle at Amazon. Pause the video at any moment to go to the Companion Guide Book or continue to the next meditation.

How to Use A Retreat Guide

How to Use A Retreat Guide

Gather together, start with prayer, and then watch the Intro and First Meditation together. At the end of the First Meditation, spend 5 – 10 minutes in silent meditation/prayer with the reflection questions. Then watch the Second Meditation and have 5 – 10 minutes of silent time. Lastly, watch the Conference and use the meditation questions as the springboard for personal prayer or group discussion.

You can use this format to gather in person or virtually. If virtual, someone could run the videos (sharing their screen, e.g., using Zoom or any other video conference platform), pausing for silent reflection.

The Conferences (the last video of each Retreat Guide) are designed as stand-alone videos offering practical applications for living out the Retreat Guide theme. They always work well with the Meditations, but you could use the Conference separately for a shorter gathering to kick off a topic for discussion.

Seasonally, you may want to use a Retreat Guide at home or with a closer group of friends. For Advent or Lent, you could select one Retreat Guide a week, watch one video each night, and discuss it as a family.

These are just some suggestions. Feel free to experiment with a format that works best for your group. With almost 60 Retreat Guides, you have a great library of retreats to pick from.
