Joyous feast to you all!

An icon of the Transfiguration of Christ, surrounded by freshly-cut flowers. Christ is shown in glory with Moses and Elijah, while Peter, James, and John fall down in amazement.

Bonjour
« Avec Pierre, Jacques et Jean, nous montons nous aussi aujourd’hui sur la montagne de la Transfiguration, et nous nous arrêtons pour contempler le visage de Jésus, pour recueillir son message et l’appliquer dans notre vie ; afin que nous aussi nous soyons transfigurés par l’amour » (François) https://www.saintvincentdepaul-saintmalo.fr/pages/messes-st-preparation/messe-des-dimanches/textes-du-jour-notre-dame-d-alet.html #Transfiguration #bible #celuiciestmonfilsbienaimé #Evangile #EvangileDuJour #saparolepouraujourdhui #Textesdujour #Psaumes #evangiledejésuschristselonsaintluc #Psaume96

10 facts about The Transfiguration: One tradition of this feast is to eat fruit and in particular, Grapes. This is because the harvest of grapes and other first fruits in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions where the tradition originated occurs at about this time.

Quote of the day, 6 August: Père Jacques de Jésus

A rarely cited phrase from Saint John’s Gospel sheds light on the heart of Christ. That phrase, “He would not trust himself to them…” [cf. Jn 2:24–25], explains the serene seriousness of his face. Saint John tells us that Christ does not place his trust in his followers, because he knows the secrets in their hearts.

Each time he tries to confide in them, the response is a silly lack of understanding. Do you recall the reaction of his closest companions at the time of the Agony in the Garden? They fell asleep!

Are we any different? Do you think that Christ can place his trust in us? Would he say something different if he lived in our midst? Or would it still be: “Non credebat eis” (“he would not trust himself to them”).

The serene silence of Jesus thus flows from the secret deep within him. Moreover, he likewise enjoys times of deep joy, but they are constantly accompanied by the dreadful image of Calvary and the disappointment derived from human sinfulness.

These feelings are always present together. Even at the peak of his Passion, the beatific vision perdures in the depths of his soul. Christ experiences ecstatic moments on Mount Tabor, but even during those moments in the company of Moses and Elijah, he conversed about his Passion for the redemption of sinners.

That serene silence is the hallmark of Christ.

The Transfiguration of Jesus

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. Matthew 17:5-8

St. Teresa of the Andes calls us to be transfigured in Christ through love, penance, and sacrifice. #Transfiguration

Quote of the day, 16 March: St. Teresa of the Andes

The Carmelite must ascend the Tabor of Carmel and be clothed with the garments of penance that will make her more like Jesus. And, as He, she wants to be transformed, to be transfigured in order to be converted into God.

The Carmelite must ascend Calvary. There she will immolate herself for souls. Love crucifies her; she dies to herself and to the world. She is buried, and her tomb is the Heart of Jesus; and from there she rises, is reborn to a new life and spiritually lives united to the whole world.
