We are being called into an ongoing transformation in Jesus Christ, beginning right now.

The Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ: On that Mountain, Jesus revealed before mortal eyes the Transcendent Truth of who He is – and who Peter, James and John – and each one of us – will become in Him. They were invited to exercise their freedom and embrace the path that He had prepared.

The Transfiguration. Does it seem somewhat esoteric or perhaps a bit too theological? On this Feast Day we are invited to consider whether the truth it reveals is being embraced and experienced in our own daily lives. It is not meant only for theologians to speculate over- or for mystics alone to encounter. We are all invited into the experience. The path up that mountain proceeds through prayer and encounter. On that Mountain, Jesus revealed before mortal eyes the Transcendent Truth of who He is – and who Peter, James and John – and each one of us – will become in Him. They were invited to exercise their freedom and embrace the path that He had prepared. So are we, right now.
