Transfiguration of Our Lord
Tuesday 6 August
Principal Service
- Transfiguration of Our Lord (Word)
The story of the Transfiguration of Jesus on the mount is told in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and Peter refers to it in his Second Epistle. Each time, it is made clear that that is not only the messenger but also the message: God’s salvation is for all and Christ is that Saviour. The testimony of the law and the prophets to Jesus are given by the presence of Moses and Elijah and the event also pre-figures the resurrection, giving a foretaste of the life of glory.
Hagiography from Exciting Holiness by Brother Tristam SSF
