The Transfiguration


Yesterday we read the account in Luke of the transfiguration. One of my favourite icons of this mystery depicts,  in addition to the event, Jesus leading Peter, James and John up the mountain and then down it. This suggests what Lent is all about: taking time to go apart with  Jesus, spending  time in prayer with him and returning  with him to take up the challenges of life. 

The important element in the story is that it is all done WITH JESUS,we are never alone.

Angela tells us

"Find no other recourse than at the feet of Jesus Christ."
