BIGGER - This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration, which rarely falls on a Sunday. In the event we have come to call Jesus’ “transfiguration,” the three disciples actually realize the divinity – the very life and love of God – that exists within the person of Jesus. That same touch of divinity exists within each one of us, as well: God is present within us, animating us to do wonderful, holy things; guiding our steps as we try to walk justly and humbly in the ways of God; enlightening our vision with wisdom and selflessness to bring the justice and mercy of God to our world. The challenge of discipleship is to allow the love of God within us to “transfigure” despair into hope, sadness into joy, anguish into healing, estrangement into community.
