Today's Thought.

The glorious transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain before his disciples came after he predicted his suffering and death and told his followers they must follow him. Undoubtedly they found his sayings hard to hear. He had to go to Jerusalem, endure great suffering and be put to death, Jesus told them, adding: “Anyone who wishes to be a follower of mine must renounce self, take up his cross and follow me.” Peter, as usual reacting for the others, protested “Heaven forbid! No, Lord, this shall never happen to you.” Most likely he was also thinking: “Nor should it happen to me, either.” Yet are we less disturbed to hear about carrying a cross and losing our life? In answer to his disciples’ misgivings, Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain and was transfigured before them. They saw his face shining like the sun and his garments brilliant white. They were filled with awe as they realized his glory was also theirs, a glory not only to be experienced in his future kingdom, but also here on earth. The New Testament Letters of Peter, influenced by Peter’s experience, promise we will share God’s glory even now, in this present life. Even now, the dark places here and now can shine if we hold them up to the light of faith. ( 2 Peter 1:16-19) It is not God’s will that the Cross burden us too much. Even now, Jesus reveals his glory to us wayfarers, that we may rejoice. Even now, we can see intimations of God’s glory in our earthly lives, brief encounters, transitory moments, transfigurations of a lesser kind, as Jesus leads us to the mountain to see his glory.

Prayer:

O Lord, the house of my soul is narrow; enlarge it that you may enter in. It is ruinous, O repair it! It displeases Your sight. I confess it, I know. But who shall cleanse it, to whom shall I cry but to you? Cleanse me from my secret faults, O Lord, and spare Your servant from strange sins.
