Staying in the Light of God's Love, Mercy and Truth

We don’t have all the answers and we don’t know in detail what the future will be like. Where do we find peace? In the Gospel for today’s Mass (Mark 9:2-10), we see Jesus taking Peter, James, and John up a mountain and revealing His heavenly glory to them. Not only do they see what He is doing with His preaching, teaching, and healing, they now see Him in His heavenly glory. Not only is Jesus transfigured, two key people from centuries past appear: Moses and Elijah. As wondrous as this encounter was for Peter, James, and John, their wonder and awe would turn to absolute confusion and fear when they saw Jesus arrested and crucified. Where did they find peace?
