Today, we have been listening carefully. We have listened to St. Luke's Gospel reading (Luke 9:28-36), which tells us about the 'TRANSFIGURATION'. Peter, James and John go up high on a mountain with Jesus, where they see him transfigured- he looks different, surrounded by light, accompanied by two Old Testament prophets, Moses and Elijah. Peter, James and John would know that God was saying something about new about Jesus. God was showing something of what Jesus really was; he was not just an ordinary person they had known for years. He had a different relationship with God and with people who had spoken importantly about God in the past.

We understand now that Jesus was sent by God; that Jesus was God, as well as being a man. Jesus came for a unique purpose: to show us God's love, and to die for us; but if we really look and listen to other people, we begin to realise that God is present in them, too. We can get to know God by loving others.
