Aug 06 – Homily: Extraordinary Glory
Fr. Dominic on the transfiguration of Our Lord when He is transfigured into a resplendent glory on Mount Tabor and how this was extraordinary compared to how Jesus normally presented himself to everyone he met and how this is how we should seek Him rather than seeking extraordinary manifestations, waiting until we get to heaven to see His glory.

The Feast of the Transfiguration
The Feast of the Transfiguration
August 6, 2011
The Feast of the Transfiguration is ultimately about vision. The Lord brought Peter, James and John up a high mountain in order that they might come to see. Even the word that describes this day bespeaks vision. It is from the Latin Transfiguratione. Trans means “across” and by extension “change” and figura, means “shape” or “form.” The suffix “ation” takes a verbal action and makes it a noun. Putting it all together transfiguration means a process by which Christ changed form or appearance. Christ gave them a glimpse of his true glory, he allowed them to see across (trans) to the other shore, to the true glory of Christ.

The text in this video meditation is from St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae and Philippians 3:21.
“At his Transfiguration Christ showed his disciples the splendor of his beauty, to which he will shape and color those who are his: ‘He will reform our lowness configured to the body of his glory’”
