Today's Reflection

Reflect:

Jesus exposes Himself to his closest friends, Peter, James, and John. Jesus makes Himself vulnerable by trusting that they will not say anything to anyone about witnessing Jesus’ Transfiguration. Jesus is setting up for them the opportunity to understand what it means to rise from the dead. Jesus does not necessarily only mean our bodily death but also explains the newness of life we can experience while still alive. Peter, James and John were privileged witnesses to see the divinity of Jesus while they still walked the earth. Their eyes were opened, yet they did not fully understand. We too are invited to see Jesus’ true self by not only looking with our human eyes, but eyes made new by faith in God. By doing so our lives will be transfigured, although we may not fully understand we will be given the continued gift of faith.

Quote of the Day:

When it's God speaking.....the proper way to behave is to imitate someone who has an irresistable curiosity and who listens at keyholes. You must listen to everything God says at the keyhole of your heart. -- St. John Vianney
