On seeing through the eyes of love

The Transfiguration: On seeing through the eyes of love.

The Transfiguration of Christ is the culminating point of His public life, as His Baptism is its starting point, and His Ascension its end. Moreover, this glorious event has been related in detail by St. Matthew (17:1-6), St. Mark (9:1-8), and St. Luke (9:28-36), while St. Peter (2 Peter 1:16-18) and St. John (1:14), two of the privileged witnesses, make allusion to it.

The disciples are allowed a brief glimpse of Jesus as the Father sees him, as 'Light from Light' or even 'Love from Love'. Jesus is shown in context, between the Law and the Prophets, for that privileged audience of apostles.

Cynics and Romantics both claim that 'Love is blind'. In this mystery, however, we are shown that Grace lends a real depth to our perception. In a world where judgements both snap and superficial tend to predominate, the Transfiguration challenges us to see into the heart of people and situations.
