The feast of the
Transfiguration (Mt 17: 1-9) is both a real event and an anticipation of the
resurrection of future glory of Jesus. At Mount Tabor, “Jesus was
transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became dazzling white.” His
physical appearance changed.We cannot depend on a one-time spiritual encounter with God to maintain the glow of God. We have to keep going back to God to restore that glow of God in us. With continous prayers and Bible readings we will have the glow of Christ in our life.
In our spiritual journey, we are constantly challenged to pray more, to fast from pleasures, to give more generously to the Church and to the poor. We too can be filled with the presence of God, transfigured and shining before others.
We need to make use of every instant to learn from Jesus through
prayer and the sacraments and to make a real difference in the world by
bringing more souls to know, love and live for Christ.
