This Sunday, our reflection is on the Gospel of Luke 9:28-36; the Transfiguration of Jesus that happened when he had gone to the mountain to pray with his three disciples. During this time the disciples had different experiences.
Let us reflect on these experiences and link them to our own lives …
“They were heavy with sleep” – What is the ‘heavy sleep’ that blinds me from facing my pain and others’ pain … How do I respond to the ‘heavy sleep’ of indifference, omission, and lukewarmness towards my call to discipleship?
“… It is wonderful for us to be here” - Which is my ‘safe space’ that God is inviting me to let go in order to respond to the brokenness of the people in my neighbourhood, community, world?
"…when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid" - What fears do I experience that hinder me from embracing the cross of misunderstanding, hurt and failure in reconciling people to each other and to God?
"… A voice came from the cloud saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him” - How do I become attentive and respond to Jesus who came to reconcile the world through his own suffering and death on a cross?
Today, let us listen to God’s voice and not harden our hearts.
