February 19, 2012 Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday Mark 9: 2 - 9

Transfiguration of Lord

Take some time in a special place to clear you mind, relax your body, and open your heart. 

Invite Jesus to be present to you in anyway he chooses.
Wait for him to come.
Perhaps knock on his door and ask him to be with you.
Sit or walk or kneel or dance with him as he leads.
Truly see him.

Hear his voice or God's voice.
Feel the love.
Stay for awhile.

Now hear the call to return to your space.  Let the scene fade.  Gently open your eyes.
Take some time to reflect on your experience, absorb its goodness, and integrate it with your normal being.  Give thanks in prayer.

Read Mark 9: 2 - 9
2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6 He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!" 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
