Changed
What is the Transfiguration? What is happening on the mountain? Why did Jesus take the three disciples with him? These are important questions because without them we might misunderstand the event. St Luke tells us that they went up the mountain to pray. If we read Matthew this way, the passage takes us into the prayer of Jesus. The disciples are privy to Jesus in his relationship with his Father. Have you seen someone absorbed in prayer? It can be an unforgettable experience of the beauty of a person in love with God; the person is changed. A person at one with God is most attractive to meet. This is the power of holiness alive. The disciples are overwhelmed by seeing Jesus in this relationship with his Father. Peter asks that they might stay here always. Oh to remain in the presence of God! Prayer also challenges us and helps us in our present needs. Before ascending the mountain, Jesus and his disciples struggled with his pending passion and death. The climax of the Transfiguration is the Father affirming his love for the Son and what will take place in Jerusalem. Jesus descends the mountain consoled by his Father and the disciples will walk to Jerusalem with Jesus.
