Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Transfiguration of Jesus”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus revealed His Divinity to Peter, James and John through His Transfiguration. They were filled with deep spiritual consolations. Ponder on, “Recall the times when you experienced deeply God’s Divine Truth and Love.” Renew your faith, hope and love for Him today.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 9:28b-32, 33b-35
Jesus took with him Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray. As he prayed, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became brilliant as lightning. Suddenly there were two men there talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they kept awake and saw his glory and the two men standing with him. Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ – He did not know what he was saying. As he spoke, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid. And a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.’
