Hi Everyone,

Sunday's gospel was about the Transfiguration. Jesus appeared in his glorified body with Moses and Elijah. Peter, James and John were amazed at what they saw. They even heard God the Father tell them to listen to Jesus. And what was Jesus trying to make his Apostles understand? That his next trip would be to Jerusalem where he would suffer and die. Yet he did not want his followers to lose heart. For three days later he would rise from the dead and his Godhood would burst forth in his glorified body. Just as it did during his transfiguration.

And Jesus' message is still just as fresh today as it was then: although you may have a heavy cross to bear - sickness, loss of a family member or friend, or just the aches and pains of growing older - you can be sure that your suffering is temporary,  For after this life we, too, will take on a glorified body and spend eternity with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

So let not your heart be troubled. Jesus is with you now and waiting to welcome you into his kingdom where every tear will be erased. Thank you, Jesus, for coming to earth to help us find our way home.

Now go and serve our King!

John
