Sunday March 12
Read: Abraham placed his absolute trust in Yahweh. Paul exhorts us to be steadfast in the Lord so that one day we will share in Christ’s glory. Peter, John, and James are granted a glimpse of this glory of Christ, a glory that would be their heritage if they accept God’s Chosen one.
Reflect: Yahweh made His promises to Abraham and he believed Him. Peter, John, and James were granted a vision of the glory of Christ that touched them deeply and transformed them. God continues to reveal His promises and manifest His glory in many ways in our lives. How do we recognize such revelations and manifestations?
Pray: Let us pray for the inner sight to recognize God’s glory in ordinary people and events around us.
Listen: The words from the cloud: “This is my Son, my Chosen one, listen to him.” Listen to him today.
Act: Meditatively recite the fourth Luminous Mystery of the Rosary.
========================================================
In the Transfiguration of Matthew, we see Christ as the new Moses. In Mark, the divine secret behind the man Jesus is revealed. In Luke, this event shows Christ immersed in a deep experience of personal prayer. Through Moses and Elijah, Jesus reveals the 'exodus' towards heaven, which will be fulfilled by his death, resurrection and ascension. In the center of the earthly journey of Christ the veil is broken and anticipates his divine aspect, which Easter will show definitely. Let us contemplate in faith and prayer, the Son, the Chosen One.
