Dear Fr. Nay,
The Transfiguration is one of my favorite passages in the NT. I like it because it demonstrated the Glory of Jesus Christ and also because it shows Peter doing the wrong thing...again. I can identify with occasionally doing the wrong thing. :-)
This time Peter opens his big mouth when he should have kept quiet. James and John were in such awe of the miracle they had just witnessed, …More
Dear Fr. Nay,

This time Peter opens his big mouth when he should have kept quiet. James and John were in such awe of the miracle they had just witnessed, they kept their mouths shut. But, not Peter. It was his nature to speak when he should have been quiet. To a certain extent, we all do this. However, in this case the Father literally scared the “hell” out of Peter, James and John and then Peter kept quiet.
It's humorous in a way.

The Lord took chosen witnesses and in their presence revealed his glory. That is to say, the form of body which he had in common with other men, he so transfigured with light, that his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment became exceeding white, even as snow.

The Lord took chosen witnesses and in their presence revealed his glory. That is to say, the form of body which he had in common with other men, he so transfigured with light, that his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment became exceeding white, even as snow. Now the chief purpose of this transfiguration was to remove from the hearts of the disciples their fear of the Cross. So, before their eyes, was unveiled this splendour of his majesty, that the lowliness of his freely-chosen suffering might not confound their faith.
But nonetheless there was also thus set forth, by the providence of God, a sure and certain hope for holy Church, whereby the whole Body of Christ should know with what great change it is yet to be honoured. For the members of that Body whose Head hath already been transfigured in light may promise themselves a share in his glory.
(Pope St. Leo the Great)
Thank you Father Nay!
