Biography
The Transfiguration recalls the moment when Jesus manifests his glory before Peter, James, and John. On the mountain, the disciples contemplate Christ's light and hear the call to listen to him.
This feast is important because it unites glory and cross: Jesus reveals who he is, yet continues toward his self-giving in Jerusalem. Christian faith learns to recognize God's light even before trial is over.
The Transfiguration inspires believers to listen to Jesus, climb into the silence of prayer, and return to daily life with hope, courage, and concrete fidelity.
