Week 40 - The Journey
"After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them." Mark 9:2-3
The Glory of the Lord. Sitting with Peter, James and John peering into the burning bush on Mount Tabor, He changes you. I pondered the shared experiences of these three. Jesus selected these three when something big was going down. The first three Apostles, the transfiguration, the Garden of Gethsemane, they journeyed together with Christ and became the Son of Man's core team.
Jesus had a team within a team, one that He set aside for a purpose. Long after Jesus had ascended into Heaven, these memories stayed with them. They recognized the glory of the Lord and they also recognized the authority that Jesus was establishing upon earth with Holy Mother Church.
Shared experiences brings us together, I have been on Mount Tabor. I can close my eyes and sit in the Chapel that is there and ponder the mysteries of God. These shared experience played a crucial role in the early Church. These three disciples became the ones that Jesus left behind to continue His mission of spreading the Good news with purpose.
What is God saying to me? Nothing is by chance, I have purpose in everything, sometimes saying things without words.
Dear Father, it is a blessing that we were there. These events in our lives are there for a purpose, to bring about Your Glory upon earth. Help us each day live out the Gospels with purpose, to slow down and not over react to the situations that pop up but to learn from them and grow with them. Prayers for great memories made this weekend that will carry us home to You. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Model of Workmen, Pray for us.
