From the Gospel according to Matthew 17:1-9

Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother,
and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them;
his face shone like the sun
and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them,
conversing with him.
Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
“Lord, it is good that we are here.
If you wish, I will make three tents here,
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, behold,
a bright cloud cast a shadow over them,
then from the cloud came a voice that said,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to him.”
When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate
and were very much afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them, saying,
“Rise, and do not be afraid.”
And when the disciples raised their eyes,
they saw no one else but Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain,
Jesus charged them,
“Do not tell the vision to anyone
until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Heaven Within You

An astonishing scene: they long to remain there, and in the very next moment they tremble with fear. In a single instant, joy and awe. At times I feel You near; at others, Your greatness fills me with wonder. You can fill me with joy or make me tremble before Your mystery.
I discover that happiness is not a place, but You, my Jesus. In You I rest. You come to meet me through my spouse. In our love, You desire to fill me even here on earth, until the day when together we behold You in heaven.

Brought Down to Married Life

Benjamin: I used to focus on your lights and shadows, especially your shadows. Today I understand that God is in you and that, through our life together, He is shaping my heart. You are a gift. I delight so much in being with you; and even in what I find difficult, I see an opportunity to choose Him and allow Him to act within me.
Judith: I was searching for God, but at times I saw you as an obstacle. Your faults wounded me. Now I recognise that you are a channel of His love. What once unsettled me has become a path to encounter Him. For me, loving God and loving you are one and the same.
Benjamin: What a blessing it is to share life with you.
Judith: It is so good to be home.

Mother,

Show us Your Son.
Blessed and praised be He for ever,
He who redeemed us by His Blood.
