Transfiguration Reflection Journey

Mount Tabor Moments – An Invitation to Witness His Glory

I’m meditating on the fourth Luminous Mystery: the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor.

It’s recorded in Matthew, Mark, and Luke—none of whom were eyewitnesses. Meanwhile, the beloved disciple John says nothing.

That silence invites me to listen deeper. To not just read about the event, but to enter into it.

Jesus invites me to climb with Peter, James, and John. I follow Him up the mountain.

The Climb of Encounter

Reaching the summit requires more than just desire—it calls for preparation, strength, focus, and perseverance. The journey itself transforms me. It’s not only about arriving at the top; it’s about who I become along the way.

Some encounters with God are only revealed when I keep climbing—when I press on through weariness, doubt, and the urge to turn back.

What might I miss if I stop too soon?

As I walk through this Transfiguration Reflection Journey, I realize it’s not just about seeing His light—it's about allowing that light to shape who I truly am.

The Summit – Seeing with New Eyes

At the top, I see it: Christ in glory. The world shifts. His light overwhelms. The same light that shone from Moses’ face and blinded the apostles now fills my heart.

From this height, God’s love feels vast and near.

He made all this for me.

The Cloud – What Obscures His Glory?

But how often do I miss it?

The glory of God breaks into my life every day—in small lights, hidden graces. But noise, distraction, and doubt cloud my vision.

What cloud is hiding my moment of encounter?

Transfiguration Reflection Journey and Conversion

The word “transfiguration” comes from metemorfothe—a complete change of form. It’s the same root as conversion.

On Mount Tabor, Jesus showed the apostles His glory.

They were overwhelmed.

Changed.

Am I?

Do I want to be?

Transformation is not only seeing His light, but letting it burn away my resistance. It’s saying Fiat, like Mary did.

That’s my prayer today:

“O Mary, transform my heart into Yours. Surround it with purity and present it to the Father as my offering.Teach me to say Fiat, every day.”

Reflection: Climbing My Own Mount Tabor

The Transfiguration is not just an event of the past—it is an invitation. Jesus calls me to climb the mountain with Him, to leave behind distractions, and to see with new eyes. But first, I must face my obstacles.
