Reflection from your Co-Pastors

Aug 6, 2020

Matthew's Gospel 17: 1-9

2 Peter 1:16-19

The Transfiguration of the Lord

Reflection from Living Faith:

Daily Catholic Devotions

Being Silent and Listening

Jesus takes Peter, James, and John to the mountain, whee he is transfigured before them. He shows the apostles his glorified body and the glory of the prophets, Moses and Elijah. Immediately, the apostles want to erect dramatic places of worship. But their plans are interrupted by the voice of God, saying, "This is my beloved Son... listen to him."

Maybe Jesus wanted to comfort the apostles so they would not lose hope, knowing they would soon see him crucified. But there is another overshadowing message here: "

Listen to him." So often when we receive a glimpse of the transcendent, we want to go to work, tell everyone we know, write the vision down.Jesus says to do the opposite: Stop. Be silent. Listen. We do well to be attentive to this voice, "until day dawns and the morning star rises" in our hearts (2 Peter 1:19) Perhaps in this way, we are also, to some extent, transfigured.
