Every time we encounter God through worship, prayer, the Eucharist and the Word; We should be transfigured in Him, transformed through our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Godsent into the world with His laws written upon our hearts ready to prophecy to all and lead them home into the heavenly fold.

May our hearts always be soft, our ears ever listening for His Word and Will for us. Our tongues and hands ever ready and willing to glorify Him through our words and deeds, to love and serve Him by serving others in our daily lives. May our bodies be guarded and our loins girded. And may we always stand ready to greet Him when He returns. Amen

(Feast of The Transfiguration Of Our Lord)
GOSPEL Luke 9:28b–36

Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up a mountain to pray. While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying. While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.

Upon hearing news of a tragedy or an act of evil, it often can wreak havoc on the peace within. We sometimes need to go to a quiet place to come into the presence of our loving Father who awaits to refresh us.

Tiredness or soreness of body and feet is no excuse to stop loving, to be hospitable or shower others with kindness. We never stop loving or caring because we are disciples of a master who never does.

The Holy Eucharist, the most precious, loving gift of life. A truly magnificent gift and remembrance of God’s abundant love for us. Amen

Matthew 14:13–21

When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” He said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over– twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.
