Face to Face with Divinity

Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration, where Christ's Divinity was revealed to His apostles on Mount Tabor. They hear the words of God the Father declare, This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased. Divinity collided with humanity that day--or at least, humanity truly realized the Divinity that was dwelling among them.

Have you ever considered how we can enounter the Transfiguration in our lives? Where do heaven and earth collide, where the mortal encounter the Divine? As Saint Peter wrote in today's second reading, "we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty." (2 Peter 1:16) Do we not eyewitness the majesty and glory of the Lord as we Eucharistically commune with Him in the Holy Mass? We have the opportunity everyday to witness the Transfiguration on altars all around the world through the miracle of transubstatiation in the Holy Eucharist.

Let us never take lightly the gift our Lord has left us in the Mass to see His face. May we always remember this: "We posses the prophetic message. You will do well to be attentive to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." (2 Peter 1:19)

I felt today's Feast would be an appropriate occasion to post this little video I made highlighting the "Beautiful Collision" in the Holy Mass.




"Everything in man should halt in awe. Let all the world quake and let Heaven exult when Christ, Son of the Living God, is there on the altar."
