Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud came a voice: "This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him." How much are we listening to Him when He talks to us? We love to listen to our radios, music, news, favorite singers – but how much time do we allocate to listen to God, in silence, not in the chaos of this world? We watch many films and videos, but how conscious are we of the many tiny miracles that happen to us every day of our existence? We often hear gossip and hearsay and untruths about other people, but how quick are we to share a postive comment when it’s appropriate? We also hear lies and stories which should not be spread around, but how how serious are we to always tell the truth, to show honesty ad sincerity in our attitude to others? Are we listening to Him? He still talks to us through Scripture, through miracles that still happen daily, through the Eucharist, through recommendations we receive from the Pope, our Bishops and priests. Are we listening to them? Because if we don't listen to them, we're not listening to Him!
