The Transfiguration of the Lord
August 6, 2021
In Year B, the reading for the Transfiguration comes from Mark’s gos-pel. (The Transfigura-tion also appears in the other two synoptic gos-pels, Matthew and Luke.) In Mark, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, apart from the other apostles and disciples.
There, Jesus is transfigured (changed in form and appearance) and appears in dazzling white clothes. Elijah, the great proph-et, and Moses, through whom the Israelites were given the law, appear with Jesus. A cloud appears, overshadowing them, and a voice states, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Jesus charges the three to not share with anyone what they had seen “except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.” They keep their experience to themselves, pondering what Jesus meant by rising from the dead.
The Transfiguration gives us a foretaste of Christ’s glorious coming, when he ‘will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body (Phil 3:21)’” The Transfiguration, initially re-vealed to Peter, James, and John, reveals to all of us a taste of what is yet to come.
The Transfiguration is the fourth of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary.
