The Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ
Daniel 7:9-10. 2 Peter 1:16-19. Luke 9:28-36

The glory of the Father, Lord and God Most High, reveals His Son, who also is His Love Incarnate; prophets testify and the Word confirms the Truth revealed to them.

The obedient to the Father’s Word and faithful in His love are drawn into the glory of the Most High, for the Word revealed in Scripture is ‘a lamp for lighting a way until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your mind’. (2 Peter 1:19).

The Father Lord Most High, speaks to each and every one of His beloved sons and daughters and says, ‘This is My Son, My chosen One. Listen to Him’. (Luke 9:35). Let one and all – alone and in the fellowship of meeting – give time and place to receive and respond according to the Father’s will and loving purpose.

(‘At His transfiguration Christ showed His Disciples the splendour of His beauty to which He will shape and colour those who are His’. ‘He will re-form our lowness configured to the body of His glory’. (Philippians 3:21), (St. Thomas Aquinas , Summa Theologiae)
