Be Transfigured - one day at a time
from Fr. Neil Pfeifer Hosted by NJPfeifer
Be transfigured—one day at a time Today’s gospel reading is one with which we should become very familiar. Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James and John. He appears in dazzling white with Elijah and Moses. God proclaims that Jesus is His Son. In these moments, Jesus changes from being just a good guy from Nazareth to being the affirmed Savior of the world. Jesus came here to save us. He did not come to make things perfect for us in this life. He offers us an “eternity of perfect” in heaven. Enduring trials and tribulations on earth is part of this temporary existence. We must not lose sight of our true aspiration. It is Jesus, the transfigured Lord, who walks this journey with us. Faith in Jesus is our strength to complete each day. When we strive to live as He taught us, serving others and praising our Lord, we are one step closer to sharing His glory for eternity. So day by day, we can be transfigured. We can change from being just humans trudging through this life to being brighter reflections of God’s love.
