Experiencing the closeness and glory of God

All the synoptic gospels tell us about the transfiguration. During this event, Moses and Elijah appear talking to Jesus as they did with God at Horeb in the Old Testament. We are invited to experience God’s presence in the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who fulfills the Law and the Prophets. God’s speaking in the cloud symbolizes his glory fully manifested in the person of Jesus Christ whom we should listen to. May we ask for the grace to recognize Jesus as the presence of God in our world. Are we willing to listen to him especially in difficult moments? Transfiguration is the paradigm of change and transformation. May the presence of Christ at the eucharist change and transform us!
