“Citizens of heaven”* the great apostle Paul calls each of us. “It is good to be here,”** the great apostle Peter declares in a moment of glory. Transfigured, the appearance of Christ: dazzling, glory-filled, Chosen One. This Lenten reminder of transfiguration is a nudge for us to look at what needs transforming in our lives so as to again and again move from glory to glory present here and now, listening to Him who is our life, dwelling with him for we are his and have the honour of sharing citizenship with Him. * - Philippians 3.20 ** - Luke 9.28-36
Wisdom! Let us be attentive!
Transfigured Jesus,
you don’t simply razzle-dazzle
us with your glory,
rather you call us to glory
by transforming our lives
to the pattern of your love.
Fill us with an eagerness
for this transformation
today, tomorrow
and all the days of this Lent.
Amen.
