We desire to be in a different place, seeking to possess a land that is within Your presence. A land without fear as You serve as our Light and Salvation; A place where the Lord Jesus Christ is awaited again as our Savior. We are ready to pitch our tents on these grounds and declare our citizenship. We have determine that it would be good to be (t)here.
Lord, we wait for You with courage. (Be our helper, send courage!) We desire to be stouthearted, and to stand firm in Faith. The Father has claimed you as the Chosen. Strengthen us to that we might listen.

In preparation for a workshop I reflected upon today’s gospel and the line in it that said that the apostles “fell silent” following the Transfiguration of Jesus, the vision of Elijah and Moses….
I think the reason is simple, in the face of such power and awesomeness of God they were rendered speechless. I think this happens often to us today, 2000 years since the resurrection of Christ. As Catholics we keep our experiences of Christ, the great works of God in our lives to ourselves: not because we don’t believe, or don’t have a desire to share, but because we are left speechless. We fall silent in awe of the God of the universe that acts in our lives everyday.
Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to inspire our words and actions in proclamation of God’s marvelous love and deeds in our lives.
