The Transfiguration of The Lord
Sunday | August 6
The feast we celebrate on August 6 is a commemoration of the fact that Jesus literally revealed His glory to three of the Apostles. He took them up a high mountain and was transfigured before them. He became dazzling white and radiant with glory. This was an important image for them to have in their minds in preparation for the very real image of the suffering and death Jesus was about to undergo. Do you see the glory of God in your life? Use this day to reflect upon the beautiful and profound transformation that God has done and continues to desire to do in your soul.
A Prayer for the Transfiguration of The Lord
Lord, may I see Your glory and the glory that You have bestowed upon my own soul. May my eyes forever remain fixed on that grace. May I see You and Your glory especially in difficult times. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.
