• 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2
• Luke 9:28-36, (37-43a)

If you read these scriptures on what the Church calls Transfiguration Sunday you can get a sense of what our Church has been teaching for so many centuries. As we allow God to work within our hearts and minds we become transformed.  For so many of us that transformation takes moments and for others it takes years.  For so many of us we fall back into our human habits and ways and then feel God’s work within our hearts and minds and turn back to Him. This transformation experience for us as Christians means we grow in love for all the humanity that God has placed us in and we do it in our own times and way.  We go through our daily lives living each moment making choices.  Will He lead us or will our human will lead us? The more we practice following God’s will as taught in the New Testament we will grow in our thoughts, habits and practices of living a life of love for all of our brothers and sisters in this world.

A question for all of us to continually ask ourselves is:

Is God transforming me into the person Jesus Christ teaches us to be? Do one good deed today, say one kind word today, pray one selfless prayer today in the name of Jesus Christ and the answer will be a resounding yes!

Have a blessed new week in the name of Jesus Christ
