Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Mt 14:22-33

Today is the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The passage taken from the Holy Gospel of Saint Matthew presents to us the narrative of Jesus walking on the water. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

First of all, Matthew tells us: Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side of the sea. It was then that He dismissed the crowds. Afterward, He went up the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone. (Cf. Mt 14:22-23)

We see a Jesus who is completely different from usual. He did not choose to go with the disciples but went up the mountain to pray. When evening came, He was there alone. What was He doing there? He was with His Heavenly Father.

Subsequently, Saint Matthew shows us the boat battered by the waves and sailing against the wind. (Cf. Mt 14:24-27) We know that the boat is a symbol of the Church, and the sea is the dwelling place of the devil, because it constantly devours life. A boat battered by the waves and sailing against the wind is exactly what the pilgrim Church experiences. When the Church encounters adversity, any change will fill her with fear. Those brothers and sisters who have left Jesus, their souls are filled with all kinds of fears, which causes them to look at God, who suddenly appears in their lives, according to the logic of this world. This will cause them, just like the disciples in the Gospel passage, to regard God who suddenly appears as a ghost.

The dialogue between Peter and Jesus presented to us by Matthew in this Gospel passage (Cf. Mt 14:28-33) allows us to see our own reflection in Peter. We too want to verify whether God’s word is true according to our own ideas. At the beginning, we too, like Peter, are willing to try to go toward God; but when we encounter some setbacks or some uncertain factors, we shrink back. Yet Jesus is still there; He is always ready to support us. Only if we truly welcome Him and choose to walk with Him can we find peace and joy.

I think: some fellow believers might ask: If this is so, then why does God allow us to go through such setbacks and uncertainties? To these fellow believers, I would say: God wishes us to go through these in order to strengthen our faith, cultivate our longing for Him, and thereby give rise to charity. Just as Saint Paul the Apostle teaches: Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Cf. Rom 5:2-5) Only in this way can we feel His presence.

Almighty ever-living God,
whom, taught by the Holy Spirit,
we dare to call our Father,
bring, we pray, to perfection in our hearts
the spirit of adoption as your sons and daughters,
that we may merit to enter into the inheritance
which you have promised.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever

聖多明我
福音：瑪17:14-20

今天是常年期第十八周星期六。教會在今天慶祝聖多明我（Saint Dominic, Priest）的紀念日。最近出版的羅馬彌撒經書是這樣介紹這位聖人的：聖多明我（Saint Dominic, Priest）（約1170–1221年）生於西班牙的卡魯埃加（Caleruega），最初加入了奧斯瑪詠經司鐸會。1206年，他被派往法國的朗格多克，協助撲滅卡特裡派（又稱阿爾比根派）異端。駐紮圖盧茲期間，他創立了宣道兄弟會（多明我會）以協助此項工作；該修會於1216年獲得聖座批准，並對教會的生活產生了深遠的影響。

今天取自聖瑪竇福音的經文向我們展現了一個父親，他多次請求耶穌的門徒給自己的兒子驅魔，耶穌的門徒未能成功，遂向耶穌求助的敘事。我願意借此機會提供一些反思。

我們時常會在生活中遇到那些經受各種苦痛的人，以及那些陪伴在他們身邊的親人。他們時常如同福音中的那個父親那樣，走遍各地，給自己的親人求醫問藥，窮盡一切可能，使他們擺脫病痛。在我們的教會內，也有這樣的一群人，他們常為那些渴望得到醫治的人祈求天主。他們時常如同福音中的那個父親那樣，跪在耶穌跟前，祈求耶穌的憐憫。他們以為：只要自己懇求，天主就會應允他們。事實卻截然相反。他們的祈禱，他們的努力，並沒有使那些經受各種苦痛的人獲得安慰，並沒有使他們脫困，反而使他們更陷於其中。其原因在於：我們常常按照自己的想法向天主祈求。因為在我們看來：天主理當賜給我們向祂渴求的各種恩典。如果祂不賞賜，那麼，祂就是一個虛假的天主。我們甚至會認為：為那些經受各種苦痛的人，我已經盡力了，他們經受各種苦痛，可能是因為他們所犯的罪過，實在深重，天主藉此折磨他們，懲罰他們。

今天，讓我們追隨聖多明我的芳蹤，把那些亟需得到醫治，亟待天主救援的人帶到耶穌跟前，幫助他們和我們一樣，滿懷對耶穌基督的信靠之情，好使耶穌能在他們身上彰顯奇能，以促使他們不再生活在困苦中，而是生活在天主恩典中。

上主，聖多明我曾是祢真理傑出的宣講者，願他以自己的功德和教導，幫助祢的教會，並成為我們極虔誠的轉求者。藉著祢的子，我們的主耶穌基督，祢和祂及聖神，是天主，永生永王。亞孟。

今天，让我们追随圣多明我的芳踪，把那些亟需得到医治，亟待天主救援的人带到耶稣跟前，帮助他们和我们一样，满怀对耶稣基督的信靠之情，好使耶稣能在他们身上彰显奇能，以促使他们不再生活在困苦中，而是生活在天主恩典中。

上主，圣多明我曾是祢真理杰出的宣讲者，愿他以自己的功德和教导，帮助祢的教会，并成为我们极虔诚的转求者。藉着祢的子，我们的主耶稣基督，祢和祂及圣神，是天主，永生永王。亚孟。

Saint Dominic
Gospel: Mt 17:14-20

Today is Saturday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Dominic, Priest today. The most recently published Roman Missal introduces this saint as follows: Dominic (c.1170-1221) was born at Caleruega (Spain) and initially joined the Canons Regular of Osma. In 1206 he was sent to Languedoc (France) to help combat the Catharist or Albigensian heresy. While based in Toulouse, he founded the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) to assist in this work; the Order was approved by the Holy See in 1216 and has had a huge impact on the life of the Church.

Today’s passage from the Gospel of Matthew presents to us a narrative of a father who repeatedly asked Jesus’ disciples to drive the demon out of his son. When they failed, he turned to Jesus for help. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

In our daily lives, we often encounter those who endure various kinds of suffering, as well as their loved ones who stay by their side. Often, like the father in the Gospel, they travel everywhere to seek medical help for their loved ones, exhausting every possible means to free them from their afflictions. In our Church, there is also such a group of people who constantly pray to God for those who long to be healed. Frequently, like the father in the Gospel, they kneel before Jesus, imploring His mercy. They think that as long as they ask, God will grant their request. But the reality is quite the opposite. Their prayers and their efforts do not bring comfort to those who suffer, nor do they rescue them from their plight; instead, they sink them deeper into it. The reason for this is that we often pray to God according to our own ideas. For in our eyes, God ought to bestow upon us all kinds of graces we desire from Him. If He does not grant them, then He is a false god. We might even think: for those who endure various sufferings, I have already done my utmost; the reason they undergo such pain may be that their sins are truly grave, and God is thereby tormenting and punishing them.

Today, let us follow in the footsteps of Saint Dominic, bringing those who urgently need healing and are in desperate need of God’s salvation to Jesus. Let us help them, just like us, to be filled with trust in Jesus Christ, so that Jesus may manifest His mighty power in them, enabling them to live no longer in misery, but in the grace of God.

May Saint Dominic come to the help of your Church
by his merits and teaching, O Lord,
and may he, who was an outstanding preacher of your truth,
be a devoted intercessor on our behalf.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

聖嘉耶當（自由紀念）
十字聖瑪利亞（自由紀念）（蘇格蘭）
教宗聖西斯篤二世及同伴（自由紀念）
福音：瑪16:24-28

今天是常年期第十八周星期五。教會在今天慶祝聖嘉耶當司鐸（Saint Cajetan, Priest），教宗聖西斯篤二世及同伴(Saint Sixtus II, Pope, and Companions, Martyrs) 的自由紀念敬禮日。在蘇格蘭，今天以自由紀念十字聖瑪利亞（Saint Mary of the Cross, Virgin）

最近出版的羅馬彌撒經書是這樣介紹這些聖人的：

聖嘉耶當（Saint Cajetan）（1480-1547）司鐸生於義大利維琴察。為了于1516年晉鐸，他放棄了自己原本極為出色的法律事業。他與同伴共同創立了戴蒂尼會或稱神職界修會（Ordo Clericorum Regularium vulgo Theatinorum），該會在推動聖職界改革方面貢獻卓著。他對拯救人靈懷有極大的熱忱，因而被稱為”靈魂的獵手”。

十字聖瑪利亞（Saint Mary of the Cross, Virgin）原名瑪麗·麥基洛普(Mary MacKillop) ，於1842年1月15日在墨爾本出生，父母都是蘇格蘭人。她前往南澳當家庭教師，期間結識了朱利安·坦尼森-伍茲神父，並在佩諾拉開辦了一所天主教小學。隨著教育和牧靈工作的展開，她創立了聖若瑟聖心女修會（又稱”若瑟芬會”）。儘管在教會內部遭遇反對，甚至面臨絕罰，她的使命仍迅速拓展——修女們常常資源匱乏，卻在最偏遠的地區堅持服務。1909年8月8日，她在悉尼安息主懷。2010年10月17日，本篤十六世教宗將她冊封為聖人，成為澳大利亞第一位聖人。

教宗聖西斯篤二世及同伴(Saint Sixtus II, Pope, and Companions, Martyrs) （卒於258年）在瓦勒良皇帝的迫害期間受難。事實上，聖西斯篤前一年不得不被秘密祝聖為羅馬主教，並在舉行感恩祭時被捕。他幾乎當場在加里斯都墓穴被斬首。根據傳統，他的七位執事中六位也在同一天被殺，第七位（聖老楞佐）則在幾天後殉道。聖西斯篤被列入羅馬正典（Roman Canon）。

今天，取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌在首次預告祂的受難和復活以後，祂對自己門徒的一番教導。我願意借此機會提供一些反思。

生活中，我們經常會聽到有人說：相信耶穌，就能獲得永生。又會聽到有人說：相信耶穌，跟隨耶穌，你的病就會獲得痊癒。有些人聽了這些人的宣講，他們選擇追隨耶穌，為的是實現自己在俗世需求。那些如此宣講的人，他們認為自己背起了自己的十字架，承行了天主的聖意。因為他們所宣講的，是這行將消逝的世界的生命觀。這個行將消逝的生命觀，會把我們導入永遠的喪亡。

耶穌所說的生命觀，與我們理解的不同。祂要求我們舍掉我們在這個必將消逝的世界一切，好能被天主聖神充滿。因為天主聖神賜給我們的一切，遠超我們當下這個世界所擁有的一切，祂賜給我們的生命，遠超我們在這個必將消逝的世界的生命。因此，當我們領受基督的聖洗，領受天主聖神的傅油，就意味著我們決定把我們的生命與耶穌基督的生命，與天主的生命結合在一起。如果我們的生命真與耶穌基督的生命結合，我們就不再按照屬於這個必將消逝的世界的行動的準則生活，因為這個必將消逝的世界的行動的準則，常與耶穌基督教給我們的行動和準則相對。耶穌基督教給我們的行動和準則就是：儘管我們仍然生活在這個終將消逝的世界，我們仍要因著對天主的信德，因著對天鄉的渴望，在生活中活出愛德，使耶穌基督所說的天國，藉著我們的生活，我們的行動，臨在於這個世界。

上主，求祢降臨眷顧祢的僕人，廣施祢永恆的仁慈，俯聽他們的祈禱；他們既以祢為造物主和主宰而歡欣，求祢更新祢所創造的，並護佑祢所重生的。藉著祢的子，我們的主耶穌基督，祢和祂及聖神，是天主，永生永王。亞孟。

Friday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Or Optional Memorial of Saint Cajetan, Priest
Or Saint Mary of the Cross, Virgin(In Scotland)
Or Optional Memorial of Saint Sixtus II, Pope, and Companions, Martyrs
Gospel: Matthew 16:24–28

Today is Friday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates today the Optional Memorial of Saint Cajetan, Priest, and the Optional Memorial of Saint Sixtus II, Pope, and Companions, Martyrs. In Scotland, today is observed as the Optional Memorial of Saint Mary of the Cross, Virgin.

The recently published Roman Missal introduces these saints as follows:

Saint Cajetan (1480–1547), Priest, was born in Vicenza, Italy. He abandoned a highly successful legal career in order to be ordained to priesthood in 1516. Together with his companions, he co-founded the Order of Clerics Regular, commonly known as the Theatines (Ordo Clericorum Regularium vulgo Theatinorum), which made outstanding contributions to the reform of the clergy. Burning with zeal for the salvation of souls, he came to be known as the “Huntsman of Souls.”

Saint Mary of the Cross, Virgin（1842–1909）born Mary MacKillop on January 15, 1842, in Melbourne to Scottish parents—went to South Australia as a governess, where she met Fr. Julian Tenison-Woods. Together they opened a Catholic school at Penola. As her educational and pastoral work expanded, she founded the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart (also known as the “Josephites”). Despite internal ecclesiastical opposition and even excommunication, her mission flourished—the sisters, often lacking resources, persevered in serving in the most remote areas. She died in Sydney on August 8, 1909. On October 17, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI canonized her, making her the first Australian saint.

Saint Sixtus II, Pope, and Companions, Martyrs (d. 258) suffered during the persecution of Emperor Valerian. Indeed, Sixtus had been secretly consecrated Bishop of Rome the previous year and was arrested while celebrating the Eucharist. He was beheaded almost immediately at the Cemetery of Callixtus. According to tradition, six of his seven deacons were killed on the same day; the seventh, Saint Lawrence, was martyred a few days later. Saint Sixtus is included in the Roman Canon.

The passage from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew presented to us today records Jesus’ instruction to His disciples following His first prediction of His Passion and Resurrection. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

In our daily lives, we often hear people say: “Believe in Jesus and you will receive eternal life.” Others say: “Believe in Jesus, follow Him, and your illness will be healed.” Some who hear such preaching choose to follow Jesus to satisfy their worldly desires. Those who preach in this way believe that they are taking up their cross and fulfilling the will of God. But what they proclaim is the worldview of this passing worldview that leads to eternal ruin.

The worldview that Jesus speaks of is different from what we naturally understand. He asks us to renounce everything we have in this perishable world so that we may be filled with the Holy Spirit. For all that the Holy Spirit bestows upon us far exceeds anything this present world can offer, and the life He gives us surpasses the life of this fading world. Therefore, when we receive the Sacrament of Baptism and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, it means that we have resolved to unite our life with the life of Jesus Christ, with the very life of God. If our life is truly united with the life of Jesus Christ, we no longer live according to the standards of this passing world, because the standards of this perishable world are ever opposed to the way of life that Jesus Christ teaches us. The way that Jesus Christ teaches us is this: though we still live in this world that is destined to pass away, yet by faith in God and by longing for our heavenly homeland, we are to live out charity in our daily lives, so that the Kingdom of God of which Jesus spoke may, through our lives and actions, be made present in this world.

Draw near to your servants, O Lord,
and answer their prayers with unceasing kindness,
that, for those who glory in you as their Creator and guide,
you may restore what you have created
and keep safe what you have restored.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
God, for ever and ever

救主顯聖容
福音：瑪17:1-9

今天是常年期第十八周星期四。教會在今天慶祝救主顯聖容的慶日。最近出版的羅馬彌撒經書是這樣介紹這個瞻禮的：主在塔博爾山上的顯聖容旨在堅定門徒的信德，因為考驗的時刻即將來臨：人子將被置於死地，而世人肉眼所能見到的，唯有軟弱、屈辱與苦難。然而，超越十字架的羞辱，便是復活的光明與光榮，而這正是顯聖容所揭示的。它向門徒，也向我們，展示了基督的天主性——祂是出自光明的光明 ——並預示了天上的光榮。

今天，取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌在高山顯聖容的慶日。我願意借此機會，提供一些反思。

首先，瑪竇告訴我們：耶穌帶著伯多祿，雅各伯和他的兄弟若望，單獨領他們上了一座高山。祂在他們面前變了容貌；祂的聖容發光如同太陽，祂的衣服變得如同光一樣潔白。（參看：瑪17:1-2）

今天，耶穌並沒有帶著祂的全體門徒上山，而是帶著一部分門徒，就是祂最初召叫的個別門徒。就是伯多祿，雅各伯和若望。我們知道，伯多祿是漁夫，耶穌召叫他們的時候，他們在海裡撒網（參看：瑪3:18）雅各伯和他的兄弟若望，以及伯多祿是耶穌最愛的三個門徒。在耶穌公開生活中的幾個場景中，只有他們和耶穌在一起。比如：復活雅依洛的女兒（參看：瑪9:18-26）耶穌顯聖容的時候（參看：瑪17:1-8）耶穌在革責瑪尼山園中痛苦祈禱的時候（參看：瑪26:36-46）他們陪伴在耶穌基督的身邊。因此，這是耶穌最親密的三位門徒。他們幾乎每時每刻都和耶穌在一起。

今天，耶穌帶著伯多祿，若望和雅各伯上山，不是去欣賞山上的美景，而是去祈禱。我們知道，山是天主臨在的地方。因為天主曾召叫梅瑟上山，同梅瑟交談（參看：出19:20-25）祂更在山上，賜給梅瑟約板（參看：出24:12-17）因此，山成了天主臨在的標記。耶穌更是帶領他們暫時離開這個終將消逝的世界，進到天主的世界。

接著，瑪竇告訴我們：在山上，梅瑟和厄裡亞顯現給他們，與耶穌交談。（參看：瑪17:3-4）路加告訴我們：他們出現在光耀中，談論耶穌的去世，也就是祂要在耶路撒冷完成的事（參看：路9:31）伯多祿陶醉在這樣的美景中，他說：“主，我們在這裡真好。如果祢願意，我要在這裡搭三個帳棚，一個給祢，一個給梅瑟，一個給厄裡亞。” （同前：參看：瑪17:3-4）這反映出我們的現實，因為我們也時常沉醉在天主和我們在一起的美好時刻，我們渴望與耶穌同住。伯多祿所做的，就是想要建造三個帳篷，他沒有給他自己，也沒有給雅各伯，也沒有給若望搭帳篷，而是給耶穌，梅瑟和厄裡亞搭帳篷，顯然，他渴望與耶穌和古聖祖同在，他渴望留在天主的世界中。

今天，教會邀請我們人以信德的眼光觀看耶穌在聖山上，向祂鍾愛的三位門徒彰顯祂光耀的面容，便是在邀請我們時時處處肖似耶穌基督，按照耶穌所做的那樣，向一切受造彰顯天主的慈顏。可是，由於原罪的緣故，我們時常會陷於軟弱中，因此，讓我們偕同伯多祿，雅各伯和他的兄弟若望，並聯合所有在今天慶祝耶穌顯聖容瞻禮的兄弟姐妹，一起向天主獻上祈禱：

天主，祢在祢唯一聖子顯容的時候，藉著祖先們的見證，鞏固了信仰的奧跡，更預示了我們圓滿的義子名份。求祢恩賜祢的僕人，聽從祢聖子的聲音，好使我們配得上與祂同為繼承人。藉著祢的子，我們的主耶穌基督，祢和祂及聖神，是天主，永生永王。亞孟。

今天，取自圣玛窦福音的经文给我们展现了耶稣在高山显圣容的庆日。我愿意借此机会，提供一些反思。

首先，玛窦告诉我们：耶稣带着伯多禄，雅各伯和他的兄弟若望，单独领他们上了一座高山。祂在他们面前变了容貌；祂的圣容发光如同太阳，祂的衣服变得如同光一样洁白。（参看：玛17:1-2）

今天，耶稣并没有带着祂的全体门徒上山，而是带着一部分门徒，就是祂最初召叫的个别门徒。就是伯多禄，雅各伯和若望。我们知道，伯多禄是渔夫，耶稣召叫他们的时候，他们在海里撒网（参看：玛3:18）雅各伯和他的兄弟若望，以及伯多禄是耶稣最爱的三个门徒。在耶稣公开生活中的几个场景中，只有他们和耶稣在一起。比如：复活雅依洛的女儿（参看：玛9:18-26）耶稣显圣容的时候（参看：玛17:1-8）耶稣在革责玛尼山园中痛苦祈祷的时候（参看：玛26:36-46）他们陪伴在耶稣基督的身边。因此，这是耶稣最亲密的三位门徒。他们几乎每时每刻都和耶稣在一起。

今天，耶稣带着伯多禄，若望和雅各伯上山，不是去欣赏山上的美景，而是去祈祷。我们知道，山是天主临在的地方。因为天主曾召叫梅瑟上山，同梅瑟交谈（参看：出19:20-25）祂更在山上，赐给梅瑟约板（参看：出24:12-17）因此，山成了天主临在的标记。耶稣更是带领他们暂时离开这个终将消逝的世界，进到天主的世界。

接着，玛窦告诉我们：在山上，梅瑟和厄里亚显现给他们，与耶稣交谈。（参看：玛17:3-4）路加告诉我们：他们出现在光耀中，谈论耶稣的去世，也就是祂要在耶路撒冷完成的事（参看：路9:31）伯多禄陶醉在这样的美景中，他说：“主，我们在这里真好。如果祢愿意，我要在这里搭三个帐棚，一个给祢，一个给梅瑟，一个给厄里亚。” （同前：参看：玛17:3-4）这反映出我们的现实，因为我们也时常沉醉在天主和我们在一起的美好时刻，我们渴望与耶稣同住。伯多禄所做的，就是想要建造三个帐篷，他没有给他自己，也没有给雅各伯，也没有给若望搭帐篷，而是给耶稣，梅瑟和厄里亚搭帐篷，显然，他渴望与耶稣和古圣祖同在，他渴望留在天主的世界中。

今天，教会邀请我们人以信德的眼光观看耶稣在圣山上，向祂钟爱的三位门徒彰显祂光耀的面容，便是在邀请我们时时处处肖似耶稣基督，按照耶稣所做的那样，向一切受造彰显天主的慈颜。可是，由于原罪的缘故，我们时常会陷于软弱中，因此，让我们偕同伯多禄，雅各伯和他的兄弟若望，并联合所有在今天庆祝耶稣显圣容瞻礼的兄弟姐妹，一起向天主献上祈祷：

天主，祢在祢唯一圣子显容的时候，藉着祖先们的见证，巩固了信仰的奥迹，更预示了我们圆满的义子名份。求祢恩赐祢的仆人，听从祢圣子的声音，好使我们配得上与祂同为继承人。藉着祢的子，我们的主耶稣基督，祢和祂及圣神，是天主，永生永王。亚孟。

The Transfiguration of the Lord
Gospel: Mt 17:1-9

Today is Thursday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates today the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. The recently published Roman Missal introduces this feast as follows: The Transfiguration of the Lord on Mount Tabor was intended to strengthen the faith of the disciples, because the hour of trial was at hand: the Son of Man would be delivered unto death, and what human eyes could see was only weakness, humiliation, and suffering. Yet beyond the shame of the Cross lies the light and glory of the Resurrection, which the Transfiguration reveals. It shows to the disciples, and to us, the divinity of Christ—He is Light from Light—and prefigures the glory of heaven.

Today, the passage from the Gospel of Saint Matthew presents to us the feast of Jesus’ Transfiguration on the mountain. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

First, Matthew tells us that Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. He was transfigured before them; His face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as light. (cf. Mt 17:1-2)

Today, Jesus did not take all His disciples up the mountain, but only a part of them—certain of the disciples whom He had first called: Peter, James, and John. We know that Peter was a fisherman; when Jesus called them, they were casting nets into the sea (cf. Mt 3:18). James and his brother John, together with Peter, were the three disciples most beloved by Jesus. In several scenes of Jesus’ public life, only they were with Him. For example: the raising of the daughter of Jairus (cf. Mt 9:18-26); the Transfiguration of Jesus (cf. Mt 17:1-8); and the agony of Jesus in prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane (cf. Mt 26:36-46)—they kept watch at the side of Jesus Christ. They were therefore the three most intimate disciples of Jesus, who were with Him almost at every moment.

Today, Jesus took Peter, John, and James up the mountain, not to admire its beautiful scenery, but to pray. We know that the mountain is a place of God’s presence. For God called Moses up the mountain to speak with him (cf. Ex 19:20-25), and it was upon the mountain that He gave Moses the tablets of the covenant (cf. Ex 24:12-17). Thus the mountain became a sign of God’s presence. Jesus even led them away, for a time, from this world which is passing away, into the world of God.

Next, Matthew tells us that on the mountain, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with Jesus. (cf. Mt 17:3-4) Luke tells us that they appeared in glory, speaking of the departure of Jesus, which He was to fulfill in Jerusalem (cf. Lk 9:31). Peter, enraptured by such a vision, said: “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.” (ibid.; cf. Mt 17:3-4) This reflects our own reality, for we too often delight in those beautiful moments when God is with us, and we long to dwell with Jesus. What Peter sought to do was to erect three tents; he did not put up a tent for himself, nor for James, nor for John, but for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Clearly, he desired to be with Jesus and the ancient patriarchs; he yearned to remain in the world of God.

Today, the Church invites us, by looking upon Jesus on the holy mountain with eyes of faith as He manifests His radiant countenance to the three disciples whom He loved, to become ourselves, in every time and place, conformed to Jesus Christ, so as to manifest the loving face of God to all creation, just as Jesus Himself did. Yet, because of original sin, we frequently fall into weakness. Let us therefore, together with Peter, James, and his brother John, and united with all our brothers and sisters who celebrate the feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus today, raise our prayer to God:

O God, who in the glorious Transfiguration
of your Only Begotten Son
confirmed the mysteries of faith by the witness of the Fathers
and wonderfully prefigured our full adoption to sonship,
grant, we pray, to your servants,
that, listening to the voice of your beloved Son,
we may merit to become co-heirs with him.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
