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.
