Reading II Rom 8:31b-34 . . . If God is for us, who can be against us? . . .
Gospel Mk 9:2-10 . . . And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white . . .
O Lord, when you wished, in your love, to show your kingship and the great glory of your coming to the chosen apostles Simon (Peter), James and John, you took them up with you to Mount Tabor. Your face shone and your clothes were like lightning through the radiance of your Flesh, the Spring of Life. Your Father cried out and confirmed your Sonship, and made your authority known. Therefore, make us worthy to delight in that same glory, and rejoice and be glad in you, as you spread over us the light of your Countenance! Glory…
O One who is marvelous in his works, and whose mysteries are revealed through his power, in all times and places, to glorious and chosen men, to the living and the dead together, prophets as well as apostles, those worthy of the mysteries of the faithful, until he comes in the open and radiates, that each man may be perceived openly in those things which were done hiddenly. Glory to that Power which was pleased and revealed his Mystery to his friends!

I like the hand visual . . . we do something similar when remembering how to pray.
Using the words ACTS: adoration, contrition, thanksgiving, supplication help my boys to pray with purpose.
We used that acronym to remind kids of how to pray in confirmation classes. I had forgotten! Thank you for reminding me!!!
