PODCAST | Listen to Him: The Transfiguration of the Lord
[ View Transcript ]
In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio leads us to listen and reflect on the meaning of the Transfiguration of the Lord and how it should transform us today.
The Transfiguration of Jesus encourages us in our commitment to discipleship. When we commit to protracted prayer – deep, silent, concentrated prayer – we can see God through our eyes of faith and deeds of love. The mystery of Our Lord’s Transfiguration helps the apostles to trust in the Cross and to believe that there is no such thing as a failure when we follow Christ.
By deeply meditating on the scene of Transfiguration, we begin to see him, to take on his capacity for self-giving love, and we become more empowered to give of ourselves with the heart of Jesus.
