February 18: Transfiguration Sunday

On this last Sunday before Lent, we remember the Transfiguration.

Honestly, when I think about the Transfiguration, I get so struck by the picture of Moses finally standing in the Promised Land, that I have trouble meditating on any other part of it.

But, still, there's Jesus, transfigured, standing between the Law and the Prophets. The Desire of the Nations, Emmanuel.

Try seeing that picture every time you close your eyes today.


peace of Christ to you,
Jessica
