Day's Saints
Feast of the Transfiguration

Dn 7:9-10, 13-14
As the visions during the night continued, I saw:
One like a Son of man coming,
on the clouds of heaven;
When he reached the Ancient One
and was presented before him,
The one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship;
all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Gospel Mt 17:1-9

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."

A "wound" in a rock. Let your hearts be soft in His Love.

Lies and deceit cannot overcome the work of God, and God cannot be overcome. The world is writhing, bitten by a vile serpent, longing to be freed from the evil. Behold the Lord puts evil to death and confines him where he cannot depart for relief. The children of God are protected by their Mother, and the Father is strong so that He cannot be overcome, and evil will be destroyed with all its works so that the work of the Lord Himself shines forth in grandeur un hindered and brilliant.

Know, also, that God will see to it His children are suitably purified so that they may be assured participation in His rest. He will heal what you ask Him to, so that the children of God may have just reason to praise God. The wisdom of the little ones will be unassailable, and when they see the glory of God and the power of His hand, they will stand awe-struck at the holiness of God and rejoice in Him.

Raise your eyes toward heaven, and lift up your hearts to God who sent His Only Son into the world to instruct and reveal, to heal and to free. Those who serve Him will do the same, and will gather His children to Himself and teach them to worship Him in freedom and peace.

Some He will teach how to participate in His passion-life, and they will be afflicted but will participate in the very peace of God, rejoicing to bear in themselves the sufferings of the Lord, offering themselves as a perfect offering to God, created from the beginning of time for the purpose, just as Jesus came into our midst to bring about salvation.

Corruption has no place in the Body of Christ, and He will clean the floor with His broom, and the children of God will worship there in peace. Ask that He accomplish His will swiftly so all things can be concluded in God and brought to a finnish, for the whole universe waits for the completion of His work.

Proceed in peace and do not hurry, for the maelstrom rages at your back, but cannot touch you because the Lord has placed you in a safe place just ahead of the storm. 

It is His Will that the children of God abide and worship Him there in peace; do not be afraid of snarling beasts, nor pay any heed to voices luring you away from the Lord. The Lord is mighty to forgive, and He will heal His children of their sins so they may rest in Him in peace, warm in the fires of His love. He will reveal the truth to every heart, and those who are just will be lifted up in the flames of His love, and all will marvel at His goodness before all things.

All things are accomplished and we wait to be justified by Him and know Him as He is.
