Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother, John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun...
Gospel's Commentary
Today, while contemplating Jesus’ divine beauty, Simon Peter spontaneously expresses his happiness: "Lord, it is good that we are here" Of course, with Jesus Christ one is always well: there is no greater source of peace and happiness. But ... let us hear what the Father of Heaven said to the apostles: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." Listen to him!
- Today and every day we can listen to Jesus. Go before the tabernacle, be silent, kneel down and you will hear him.
