Message from Father Wilson

Dear Friends in Christ,
Last week we were able to see Jesus in the desert, a human being like any one of us: he was incredibly hungry, was severely tempted by the devil, and asked his heavenly Father for help. Today, on the other hand, he shows us his divinity: his clothes are whiter than snow, his face is shining, and he is speaking with the prophets. On the day of the first Transfiguration, Christ called Peter, James and John for at least two reasons: He wanted to reveal his divinity to them. And he also wanted to give them the strength to bear the pain of their future agony, persecution and martyrdom.
Our personal transfiguration begins in prayer. In prayer, we hear the Word of God, and we contemplate his face. How can we better hear the Word of God and see the face of God? When Jesus climbed to the top of Mount Tabor with his disciples, he went away from the noise of the town and took them to a place of silence and seclusion. We too need that place of silence and seclusion.
God told the people of Israel: “Seek my face.” Today, that face is made visible in the sacraments, and in our brothers and sisters: in the elderly, the children, in those who are sick. In the people at home and at work. Seeing Christ in those who surround us is the essence of our Christian vocation.
We come to church every Sunday not to make three tents and stay there peacefully without doing anything. Rather we come to nourish ourselves with the Eucharist, and then go forth to our world with the joyful light of one who has contemplated the face of God. It would be good to ask ourselves: Are we already converted, and turned toward God? Do we already contemplate his face in prayer? Have we already been transfigured into Christ? Lent would be a great time to meditate on the Transfiguration.
All the best…in Christ,
Father Wilson
