Feast of the Transfiguration

Reflection

“Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother, John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him.” –Matthew 17:1-3

Prayer

Light from light,

There are times when we are surprised by the sudden revelation of a deeper meaning and hidden glory of the world we inhabit. On this Feast of the Transfiguration, we give thanks for the revelation of your glory to your disciples, and we ask for a share in that glory, too, that we might be filled with your light. For the sake of a world trapped in darkness, fill us with your light and may we surprise our neighbors by unveiling your love at work in all things! Amen.
