What a grace for Peter, James and John to see Jesus transfigured as His face shown like the sun and his clothes became dazzling white.
The three apostles got a preview of the glory of Jesus risen from the dead and His glory in heaven. It was also a preview of the glory we all hope to share in heaven.
Moses and Elijah also appeared and spoke with Jesus. Moses received the Law from God on Mount Sinai and Elijah is considered the greatest of the prophets. Our Lord is the fulfillment of the law and the long awaited savior prophesied by the Old Testament Prophets.
The Blessed Trinity is revealed when the Father spoke from the cloud and said, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
The Lord revealed His glory to help them endure the scandal of the Cross. Jesus had to go to Calvary before He could be glorified by His Father on the day of His resurrection.
On this feast of the Transfiguration, may we see the beauty and value of suffering and believe to suffer is truly the power behind our success in gaining heaven. During those difficult moments, may we remember the glorious things the Lord has done for us, and seek the future glory of heaven. The Virgin Mary will help us to endure our future crosses to come.
