THIS brief glimpse of Jesus in all his glory through the Transfiguration is also meant for us today.
Perhaps like the disciples, we too experience fear, doubt and even a lack of faith.
Perhaps we too need to be encouraged and strengthened by Jesus, especially as we continue our journey through Lent.
We too need know that our prayer, fasting and sharing with the poor is not an end in itself or that it is all done in vain.
We are heading towards the resurrection and the new life of Easter, but we have a distance to go yet.
But the experience of Jesus transformed offers each of us taste of what lies ahead of us. If we share in the suffering and passion of Jesus, we will also share in his resurrection.
