Thank You Heavenly Father for giving Your people five festivals in today’s first reading to remind your people that you care and protect. You do the same for us as the faithful following Jesus during the Liturgical year, Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, as well as Ordinary Time. “Lord, it is good that I am here with you today” Amen. As I see the host and Precious Blood at Mass today may I too proclaim, as Peter does. Jesus invites me, as well, to lift my eyes and heart to heaven and ask the Holy Spirit to give me the eyes to see him. Jesus also wants to give me a glimpse of His glory.
The disciples are given a special blessing, a special teaching and a mission, the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God with a glimpse of His glory. Oh, Lord our God, You reveal Your Son to his disciples by showing us who He really is, God made man in the transfiguration.
