THE GOSPEL FOR TODAY - Tuesday, 06 August 2013 As Jesus converses with Moses and Elijah,, I wonder what the three Apostles were thinking and talking about? I think I would be too stunned to say anything. Perhaps this is a natural reaction when we are confronted with the glory of God. However, Jesus also wants us to approach Him as a friend and confidante. Let us never forget either the glory due to our God or His desire to be in relationship with us. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him. Luke 9:28-36 Jesus took Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray. While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying. While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him." After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen. Reflection: Let us never forget either the glory due to our God or His desire to be in relationship with us. "OBEY AND WITNESS" "DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU"
