Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord

Mark 9:2-10




*Friends, today’s Gospel presents the Transfiguration of Christ. What is
the Transfiguration itself? Mark speaks literally of a metamorphosis, a
going beyond the form that he had. If I can use Paul’s language, it is "the
knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ." In and through
his humble humanity, his divinity shines forth. The proximity of his
divinity in no way compromises the integrity of his humanity, but rather
makes it shine in greater beauty. This is the New Testament version of the
burning bush.The Jesus who is both divine and human is the Jesus who is
evangelically compelling. If he is only divine, then he doesn’t touch us;
if he is only human, he can’t save us. His splendor consists in the coming
together of the two natures, without mixing, mingling, or confusion. This
same Jesus then accompanies his disciples back down the mountain and walks
with them in the ordinary rhythms of their lives. This is the Christ who
wants to reign as Lord of our lives in every detail. If we forget about
this dimension, then Jesus becomes a distant memory, a figure from the
past. *
