Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; 
from the cloud came a voice, 
“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone
but Jesus alone with them. (Mk 9:2-10)

To catch a glimpse of Jesus revealed in glory . . . the experience overwhelmed Peter, James and John. When we catch glimpses of God’s presence shining through ordinary experiences—revealed in our humanity, well, that’s what Transfiguration is all about. That’s when we really need to listen!
