Translucent lit particles are possible? Or not?

Hello there!
I'm a newbie!
And i have a small trouble in creating mod. I need particles to be translucent (since texture is fading to lower opacity and then back) and glow (lit) at the same time. Is this even possiblw? 
When i use lit, instead if translucent, it cuts off all the semi-transparent frames, translucent doesnt do that. But i need my stuff to glow! 
help please
