Glorious Transfiguration

The preview of the Resurrected Christ on Mount Tabor was for the three chosen Apostles, Peter, James and John, a preview of Jesus in his Glory to fortify them (and us) when it seems the world, and ourselves cannot sink any lower. The Apostles didn't quite understand its significance at the time, but knew they had seen something spectacular.  After the Resurrection and after Pentecost, its meaning was clear, Jesus was, as the voice proclaimed, the beloved, the chosen Son. May this scene be seared in our minds and hearts as we face the tests of the  human condition, as well as spur us on to live the teachings of Jesus as best we can each day so that we too might be transformed into chosen sons and daughters.
