[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

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.


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
