The Transfiguration of the Lord
Dan 7:9-10,13-14; 2 Pet 1:16-19; Mk 9: 2-10
A Reminder of our Inner Selves
At times, like the disciples felt, we feel like standing and staring at the glory of the Lord; or we don't have time even for that. The transfiguration of the Lord is a reminder of the inner selves that we possess. We do not realise the treasures that we are given with in this earthen vessels (cf. 2 Cor 4:7). We are so taken up with maintaining and adorning and satisfying this earthen containers that we need a reminder like what Jesus gives us today: that our inner selves are way far precious and brilliant, and we need to attend to the innermost yearnings of our being to belong to the Lord and taste the eternal goodness. Our innermost self is the very image and likeness of God. The invitation is to live a life, set a standard, fix on priorities that would make us worthy enough to hear those words: 'this is my beloved son; this is my beloved daughter'!
