Aug. 6, 2013 Tuesday: Transfiguration of The Lord
Jesus, from all eternity
you were pleased to give yourself to us in love.
And you planted within us a deep spiritual desire
that can only be satisfied by yourself.
We are made to love you;
you created us as your lovers.
Knowledge of you kindles such a fire in our souls
that we have no energy left for worldly desires.
My Jesus, how good it is to love you.
Let us be like your disciples on Mount Tabor,
seeing nothing else but you.
— St. John Marie Vianney, the Curé of Ars
Peter, John and James were heavy with sleep, but on waking they saw his glory! They slept again in Gethsemane. In the bible, such sleep signifies that the disciples do not understand Jesus and his relationship with his Father. Jesus is left to carry the work of salvation without their help.
Jesus, how often have our eyes been closed in sleep as we walk with you through life? How often are our ears closed too to the Word you speak to us through our daily conversations? May your word become awake, alive and active in us each day as we travel the road together with you.
