Today’s Gospel, Mark 9:2–10, tells the story of the transfiguration of Jesus. God’s message to Peter, James and John via the voice from the cloud, applies to us also, particularly in the times in which we live. He said: “This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.”
You will recall that in Matthew 3:13–17, as soon as Jesus was baptised and came out from the water, “the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And a voice spoke from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.”
The transfiguration shows Jesus in all His divine glory. As followers, we are called to listen to Him. But are we listening or, as the saying goes, ‘stick break in our ears’?
