This Sunday, we follow Jesus and three disciples up a mountain. As they stand on the summit, Jesus is changed—“transfigured”—before their eyes, his face shining like the sun and his clothes becoming bright as light. The mysterious story of Jesus' transfiguration has a way of stripping away some of our assumptions and certitudes, opening us to the healing gift of God's presence.
