Tranfiguration - a daily call

WORD 2day: Saturday, 6th week in Ordinary time

February 18, 2023: Hebrews 11:1-7; Mark 9: 2-13

Faith is a call to be transfigured daily - amidst the troubles we have, amidst the things that occupy our minds on a daily basis, that moment when we raise our eyes and our hearts to the Lord offering ourselves up in total surrender becomes a moment of transfiguration, when we are able to feel a presence that is so real and so sustaining! 

If we are lost in the worries and concerns, digging deep into our sorrows, we are not to be considered bad people, but just that we are unfortunate! We become persons without that supernatural eye that the Lord graces us with, in faith. In faith, we learn to see what exists beyond, beyond our struggles, weaknesses and difficulties. 

If we possess Faith... we possess an ever present light, an unending light, an ever new light, for life. That light illumines the every corner that is dark and unexplored in our lives, driving out fear from our hearts.

If we possess Faith... we have a host of people with us who have gone before us and who stand by us today, we are never alone. In that communion, in those relationships we are granted a wisdom beyond measure, clearing off all confusions from our minds. 

If we possess Faith, we possess the Lord, who would communicate with us, constantly and clearly, by voice and by words, by affirmations and appreciation, doing away with any doubt in our spirits. 

Liberated from fears, confusions and doubts, with faith, we shall be transfigured every day!
