Living Our Baptism

Note:  We are victims of a lost password.  I was not able to access the internet Tuesday Morning...no one knows the "hourse" password.  Have an APB out for it.  Hoping to have it tomorrow...In the meanwhile, two slices of bread today to make up for yesterday.

The Transfiguration astounds us with bright light, brilliant white garments, Moses and Elijah and the voice of the Father. Like the three apostles, we don't know if we should cower or bounce around like cheerleaders. This was a gift-moment, a prep for these three before they saw the opposite happen to Jesus in Gethsemane  on Golgotha. The true light, the Transfigured Jesus in as much glory as the eyes of the Apostles could behold, came to them to assure them, especially after the Resurrection, when they reflected on what Jesus said and on these events, that he was indeed the Son of God.
At baptism, we became the sons and daughters of God, with the same mission to attest to the reality of Jesus and to carry out his mission despite obstacles and our own hesitancy.  We need to spend more time on the ground with these three,  gazing upon the Transfigured Jesus, and then descend fortified for our mission in the market placet.
