Her parents taught her from her childhood to recognize the presence of God in everyone and everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once, when Catherine said she wanted to touch God, her mother stretched out her hand and said, \u201cTouch me.\u201d Catherine\u2019s mother understood St. Augustine\u2019s teaching when he wrote: \u201cGod became man so that man might become God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Transfiguration is more than just a sign of Christ\u2019s divinity. It also reveals our own potential to grow and to become divine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, the author of Daniel wanted to encourage the faithful who were being persecuted by King Antiochus Epiphanes. The Transfiguration was meant to strengthen the disciples\u2019 faith, which would be sorely tested by Jesus\u2019 passion and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, St. Paul would try to strengthen the Christian community against times of trouble or persecution: \u201cI consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.\u201d (Romans 8:18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our Opening Prayer asks that, in Jesus\u2019 Transfiguration, his heavenly Father \u201cstrengthen our faith by confirming the witness of your prophets, and show us the splendor of your beloved sons and daughters.\u201d Similarly Peter sees, through the Transfiguration, a renewed awareness of our own exaltation to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite daily trials and tribulations, St, Paul assures the Corinthians that, through faith, we \u201care being transformed \u2026 from glory to glory.\u201d (2 Corinthians 3:18) Perhaps we already participate in the vision of Teilhard de Chardin, who recognized that \u201cWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The voice the disciples hear that declares, \u201cThis is my chosen Son,\u201d provides a glimpse of our own future. St. John declares: \u201cBeloved, we are God\u2019s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.\u201d (1 John 3:2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is refreshing to contemplate the innocence of a child. The Indian Jesuit Sebastian Painadath writes: \u201cChildren belong to the kingdom of God, not because they are more innocent than we are, but because they do not live in the brokenness of the past or in anticipation of the future. Children live in the present moment. They give themselves wholeheartedly to the now \u2014 to the moment that is right here right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Transfiguration holds out hope that we can recapture this experience even as adults. As the photographer Minor White put it: \u201cInnocence of eye has a quality of its own. It means to see as a child sees, with freshness and acknowledgment of the wonder; it also means to see as an adult sees who has gone full circle and once more sees as a child \u2013 with freshness and an even deeper sense of wonder.\u201d As Jesus said, we must become like little children if we wish to enter the kingdom of heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The voice the disciples hear urges: \u201cThis is my chosen Son; listen to him.\u201d It has been said that \u201cSilence is God\u2019s first language; everything else is a poor translation. In order to hear that language, we must learn to be still and to rest in God.\u201d (Thomas Keating) The disciples remained silent about the event until they had reflected on the Transfiguration in light of Jesus\u2019 resurrection and ascension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James cautions, \u201cBe doers of the word and not hearers only.\u201d (James 1:22) Yet at times we confuse activity with doing God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josephine_Bakhita\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Josephine Bakhita<\/a> was born in 1869 in The Sudan, Africa, to a loving, prosperous family. At nine she was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Following 10 years of unspeakable suffering, Bakhita won her freedom, became a Catholic, and eventually joined the Canossian Sisters. After years of service including helping in a hospital during World War I and giving mission talks, her arthritis, asthmatic bronchitis and double pleurisy forced her to stop working and to use a wheelchair. A visiting bishop asked Sister Josephine what she did all day, sitting in her wheelchair hour after hour. She replied: \u201cWhat do I do? Exactly what you are doing \u2014 the will of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Maryknoll Father James Kofski, ordained in 1991, served in Egypt, Thailand and Myanmar before moving to the U.S.\/Mexico border to minister at Saint Patrick\u2019s Church in Canutillo, Texas, for the Diocese of El Paso.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This Scripture reflection was previously published the week of August 6, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To read other&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/category\/scripture-reflections\/\">Scripture reflections<\/a>&nbsp;published by the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns, click&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/maryknollogc.org\/resources\/scripture-reflection\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Featured image:&nbsp;The Madonna House Chapel in Ontario, Canada, a place for contemplative prayer, is shown.&nbsp; (Facebook\/MadonnaHouse\/Canada)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Maryknoll priest reflects on the Transfiguration of the Lord in Sunday\u2019s Gospel in light of his lifetime of service in mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":7186,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","_eb_data_table":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1053,1052],"tags":[3239,3241,3243,3240,3242,3244,3245,391,1508,3246],"class_list":["post-7184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-scripture-reflections","tag-august-6-2023","tag-canossian-sisters","tag-catherine-de-hueck-doherty-foundress-of-madonna-house-apostolate-in-ontario-canada","tag-dn-79-10-13-14-2-pt-116-19-mt-171-9","tag-indian-jesuit-sebastian-painadath","tag-king-antiochus-epiphanes","tag-maryknoll-father-james-kofski","tag-mogc","tag-mogc-scripture-reflections","tag-photographer-minor-white"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
