Encountering The Christ
Imagine This!
Use the power of your imagination
to pray with this scene of Jesus’ Transfiguration.
Go with Peter, James and John up the mountain with Jesus.
It is good to be there. Savor the experience of being with Jesus and return to the scene often, relishing his Presence and Call.
Gospel Scene Mark 9: 2-10
This is My beloved Son
Jesus took Peter, James, and John
and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.
He was transfigured before them.
Elijah and Moses appear and converse with Jesus.
A cloud casts a shadow over them.
A voice is heard.
They saw no one but Jesus.
They came down the mountain with questions.
What does rising from the dead mean?
Encountering Jesus
What do you See? Hear? Touch? Smell?
Taste? Think? Feel?
Pray the Mantra
‘This is God’s Beloved One, Listen’
Reflection
Having encountered the Christ, the Beloved Son of God, having listened and seen, we too are sent like Peter, James and John, down the Mountain to be ‘Missionary Disciples’ in our world today. Through our Lenten practices of fasting, prayer and almsgiving, we bring hope and compassion to our wounded and suffering world. Let us speak, act, relate, serve, and suffer too as we listen and hear deeply our own human story and those of our companions on this Lenten journey.
Listen and Pray
Transfigure Us O Lord
Transfigure us, O Lord,
Transfigure us, O Lord.
Break the chains that bind us;
speak your healing word,
and where you lead we’ll follow.
Transfigure us, O Lord.
