Year Two, Day 89: Transfiguration

"Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves."

~Mark 9:1-8 NKJV

Lovely sermon this morning by the Jesuit priest this morning at first Saturday Mass. He spoke of how we as Christians are continually being transformed by our walk with Jesus into the people God desires us to be.

I am so glad I dragged myself out of bed! I almost did not make it.

Note to self: Eating a "Magnum Double Chocolate Ice Cream bar before bed: Not good. I am in pain. I did have a lovely breakfast with my mom. But of course, she noticed my discomfort. She told me to lay off the chocolate, which is highly acidic. (Wise woman! Chocolate is a no-no for battling acid reflux. Sigh.

So here I am at Safeway on my break from teaching. I bought some peppermint Tums,drinkable yogurt and Alka-Seltzer.

Experience is often the best teacher.

Happy Saturday!
