Sunday, March 20 - Lent II - Mt from 17.1 to 9
after six days Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain.
And he was transfigured before them: and his face shone like the sun and his garments became white as light.
And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus: "Lord, it is for us to be here if you want, let us make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." He was still speaking when a bright cloud overshadowed them with his shadow. And a voice that said: "These is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him. " On hearing this, the disciples fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, saying: "Get up and do not be afraid." When they looked up they saw no one but Jesus only. And while coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them: "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is raised from the dead."
"Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them ....". It is important to find the perfect place to experience this important moment. "And he was transfigured before to them, his face shone like the sun and his garments became white as light. " And his were able to contemplate in all its grandeur and in all its infinite beauty. It 'an experience so overwhelming that Peter says: "It's nice for us to be here."
When you climb up a mountain, despite the effort, what gives us the desire to climb higher and higher is what we'll try to think in admiring the beautiful scenery that is present before us when we reached the top, so even in our arduous journey of conversion, the desire to get to contemplate the beauty of the face of God leads us with joy to reach our goal.
Jesus invites us to climb on Mount Tabor to contemplate the radiant face of God, trying to recover that sense of wonder that helps us to increase our faith, and makes us of joyful Christians, more and more enchanted by the infinite beauty of God
