Readings: Genesis 12: 1-4; 2 Timothy 1: 8-10; Matthew 17: 1-9
Gospel Passage: “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: 2-3)
Meditation: In the following of Jesus, we, too, are invited to have our lives transfigured or transformed - NOT as dramatic as Jesus’, but equally true. Our lives need to be transformed unto the image and likeness of God. We hear God’s voice in our hearts - ‘you are my BELOVED SON or DAUGHTER - whom I am well pleased. This is our own transfiguration!
