THE GREAT FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD.

THE FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION.


THE GOODNEWS:
Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother, John, 
and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

And he was transfigured before them; 
his face shone like the sun 
and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them,
conversing with him.

Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, 

“Lord, it is good that we are here.

If you wish, I will make three tents here, 
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, behold,
a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, 
then from the cloud came a voice that said, 

“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to him.”
When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate
and were very much afraid.

But Jesus came and touched them, saying,
“Rise, and do not be afraid.”

And when the disciples raised their eyes, 
they saw no one else but Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain,
Jesus charged them,
“Do not tell the vision to anyone 
until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” (Matthew 17: 1 - 9).

Thursday August 6th 2026 in the 18th Week in Ordinary Time is the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. 

The Elect will be transformed and become like Jesus as He appeared in the Transfiguration. 

The Transfiguration prepares us for the great mystery of our own Resurrection.

Because of the Transfiguration, we see Christ as our hope. We also understand that the victory over death and sin will come via the Cross. 

 The Cross is the Means of Salvation, Redemption, Glorification and Eternal life.

 This is the gracious and mysterious will of the Father. This is the Full Truth of the Gospel. 

We honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary in August. 

Mary says: "In the end. My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
