*Friends, today’s Gospel celebrates the Transfiguration. Christ came not
just to make us nice people or morally upright folks, but rather to give us
a share in his divine life, to become denizens of heaven, people capable of
living in that new environment. What gave the first Christians this
conviction? The answer is the Resurrection—and the great anticipation of
the Resurrection, which is the Transfiguration. This ordinary Jesus somehow
became transformed, elevated, enhanced in his manner of being. The first
thing we notice is that his appearance became more beautiful. These
somewhat grubby bodies of ours are destined for a transfigured, elevated
beauty. Secondly, in his transfigured state, Jesus transcends space and
time, since he is talking with Moses and Elijah. In this world, we are
caught in one moment of space and time, but in heaven, we will live in the
eternal now of God’s life. Have you ever noticed that even as we appreciate
all that is wonderful about this life we are never really at home? There is
a permanent restlessness about human life. But a higher, richer, more
beautiful and spiritually fulfilling life awaits us. We’re like grubs who
are waiting to be monarch butterflies. *

*Reflect: How does the reality of the Transfiguration and the Resurrection
give you hope? *














* Krisztus lelke, szentelj meg engem! Krisztus teste, üdvözíts engem!
Krisztus vére, ihless meg engem! Krisztus oldalából kifolyó víz, moss
tisztára engem! Krisztus kínszenvedése, erősíts meg engem! Ó, jóságos
Jézus, hallgass meg engem! Szent sebeidbe rejts el engem! Ne engedd, hogy
elszakadjak tőled! A gonosz ellenségtől oltalmazz engem! Halálom óráján
hívj magadhoz engem! Add, hogy eljussak hozzád, és szentjeiddel dicsérjelek
téged, mindörökkön-örökké. Ámen.  (Loyolai Szt. Ignác) *
