Thanks Mike – wonderfully insightful. I really warm to these words and what follows:”We do not need to see new things. We need to see the same old things with new eyes.” For me that’s the secret. We’re always running off to seek new experiences, when depth of living in the very places and experiences we find ourselves in and have been continually can give us those transfigured moments you speak of. It’s all right there in front of our eyes. Thanks again.

Thank you Ron. Too really see Christ is to begin to get a glimpse of ourselves. One of my favorite invitations to the Eucharist comes from the Society of St. John the Evangelist in Cambridge, MA: “Behold what you are; become what you see.”

Peace, Mike+

Pam, I am glad the sermon was helpful. “Is this all there is?” I think that question is, in some way, our experience of God’s longing for us, a reminder that the window never closes.

Peace, Mike+

Beautifully said! I’m especially struck by your observation that Christ didn’t just “light up” before the disciples, but that the disciples were themselves transformed so that they could see Christ as he had always been. That is indeed the challenge before each of us… in each new moment… in every place we happen to be. Thank you for that wonderful challenge!
