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.”

Ang Pagbabagong Anyo ni Hesus
Mateo 17:1-9
Pagkaraan ang anim na araw, isinama ni Jesus sina Pedro at Santiago, at si Juan na kaniyang kapatid. Dinala niya silang bukod sa isang mataas na bundok. Nagbagong-anyo siya sa harap nila. Nagliwanag ang kaniyang mukha na parang araw. Pumuti ang kaniyang mga damit na gaya ng busilak ng liwanag. Narito, biglang nagpakita sa kanila sina Moises at Elias na nakikipag-usap sa kaniya.Sinabi ni Pedro kay Jesus: Panginoon, mabuti para sa amin na kami ay naririto. Kung ibig mo, gagawa kami rito ng tatlong kubol. Isa ang para sa iyo, isa kay Moises at isa kay Elias.
Habang nagsasalita pa siya, narito, nililiman sila ng isang maningning na ulap. Narito, may isang tinig na buhat sa ulap na nagsasabi: Ito ang pinakamamahal kong Anak na labis kong kinalulugdan. Pakinggan ninyo siya.
Nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, napasubsob sila sa lupa at sila ay lubhang natakot. Lumapit si Jesus at hinipo niya sila. Sinabi niya: Tumayo kayo at huwag kayong matakot. Nang tumingin sila sa paligid, wala silang ibang nakita kundi si Jesus lamang.
Habang bumababa sila sa bundok, iniutos sa kanila ni Jesus na sinabi: Huwag ninyong sabihin kaninuman ang pangitaing ito hanggang sa muling mabuhay mula sa mga patay ang Anak ng Tao.

His face shone like the sun. What makes your eyes sparkle and your face shine? Jesus has this wonderfully amazing experience, and everything about Him dazzles. Burdened with the thought of His impending passion and death, Jesus goes up the mountain and gets inspiration: The prophets of old support Him, His Father affirms Him, and His friends accompany Him. If this does not make your hopes rise and your spirit burst, I do not know what will.
I once went home after 5 days of work in the North depressed and tired.I was met by my wife who praised my looks, expressed her love for me, and said she missed me, for she had not seen me in a long time. It was enough to brighten my damp spirits. How many times have we felt enlightened by the word of God or inspired by His Spirit and pushed to walk on with faith?
We are often lifted up by friends who encourage us on. There are times when we feel God is all we have, and this is more than enough for us to go on. Transfiguration is not only about clothes shining. It is about hope rising, courage emerging, and love lifting us up. Find your life’s mission and purpose.
God bless us all forever!
