August 8, 2021 - Our Lord Jesus Christ led Saints Peter, James, and John up the mountain to pray. As Jesus was praying, He was transfigured right before their eyes. As they ascended the mountain his appearance was that of a mere human. As He prayed, the glory of His Divinity shone upon and from His body. The Early Church Fathers teach us so many things regarding the Transfiguration of our Lord. Tonight we focus on their teaching that the Transfiguration shows us the path to be healed of our humanity and be transformed to shine from the nature and virtues of Christ our God. That path is to ascend the mountain of prayer. For it is fellowship with God that heals and transfigures the human soul.
