The Most Glorious Mystery, February 11 Worship

Today the season of Epiphany ends and we prepare for Lent by following Jesus up a mountain. Jesus had been revealing His true nature through His words and actions, and then, on the Mount of Transfiguration three disciples see His glory revealed as transfiguring light. Moses and Elijah appear with Him, talking about His departure in Jerusalem. Jesus then commands the disciples not to tell about the event until after he will rise from his grave alive. In this we recognize Jesus’ true glory in His sacrificial love devoted to our salvation. For God has “shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
