Summary

Jesus’ Transfiguration is not just a magnificent scene in his life, it’s a sign of what Jesus wants to do in all of us, he wants us to share in his glory. Today, Dr. Sri shows us the parallels between Moses at Mt. Sinai and Jesus at Mt. Tabor during the Transfiguration. Most importantly, he reminds us how Jesus wants to change us so we can also radiate God’s glory.

Snippet from the Show

“Jesus wants to meet us in the valley so he can take us up the mountain of Transfiguration, and make us so radiant that we begin to reflect the Glory of God.”

0:52.4	and what difference does it make in my life?
0:55.0	Does it really make any difference?
0:56.0	The transfiguration?
0:57.0	Well, I would say it makes all the difference,
0:59.0	because this is one of the most important moments in Jesus's life. In fact there's a whole
1:04.4	mystery of the rosary dedicated to this scene, the fourth luminous
1:08.4	mystery, the transfiguration. This is a crucial turning point in Jesus's life and it tells us a lot about our own lives, but yet if you ask the average Catholic,
1:18.0	what is the transfiguration all about, they would say, um, I'm not sure, I think.
1:23.0	I know I've had bishops even come and ask me,
1:25.0	you know, what do I preach on for the transfiguration?
