Mass Intentions Please Pray for Calendar Club Winners To have a name listed in the bullen: Josh & Kae Ehlers From your Pastor s Desk Fr. Joe Wray Reflecon by Rodney Bluml: About eight days aer Jesus had delivered the condions of being a came the Transfiguraon... What did it mean to follow a Messiah who was desned to suffer and die? The apostles must have been asking themselves this very queson aer Jesus exploits and revelaons leading up to today s event. Shortly before the Transfiguraon, 5000+ people were fed with five loaves of bread aer Jesus prayed with them. Peter s response was to proclaim messiah who would lead them into bale with the Romans. Jesus explained to them for the first me that in order to fulfill his desny as absurd. This concept didn t fit their expectaons; and then, aer he commitment to this new relaonship with him, they were filled with out to be more than they had ancipated. While on Mount Tabor, Jesus bapsmal identy is reaffirmed by God through a dreamy vision. We get of saying outside of normal me because the eighth day is beyond our reckoning; it is God s me. In this vision, they experienced Jesus in a new figurement of his resurrecon. Peter s exclamaon is understandable: let s build booths and stay here to commune with God; it can t get any beer than this! We don t really want to go to Jerusalem to watch you die. But the insight he sll hadn t aempt to shock Peter into understanding, God s voice is heard from a to really hear what Jesus was saying. If he was going to connue downtrodden people and the evil spirits who would aempt to dishonor them; they had to confront the religious authories who were manipulang people and comforng themselves. God had chosen them Make a list of the people you can idenfy as living the Kingdom of God
