People who truly pray are also physically different: they give off a kind of mysterious light in their gaze, face, gestures, smile, and even in their suffering.
Luke the Evangelist’s account of the Transfiguration includes one detail that he highlights in all the key passages of Jesus' life. That detail is prayer: “While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.” At his Baptism, as at the Transfiguration or the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, Luke says that Jesus is praying.
