Transfiguration of the Lord, Year A

06/08/2017 09:00

In our reading, Peter is telling others about the transfiguration (changing) of Jesus on the mountain.  God spoke to Peter, James, and John and told them how special Jesus was.

 

In our Gospel, Peter, James, John and Jesus went up on a high mountain.  Jesus changed before them and wore dazzling white clothes and his face shone like the sun.  Then Moses and Elijah joined them and talked to Jesus.  Peter offered to prepare 3 tents for them.  God’s voice came telling them this was Jesus, His Son.  The disciples became afraid and Jesus touched them saying don’t be afraid.  When they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone.  They weren’t to tell anyone about what happened until after Jesus rose from the dead.
