"At His Transfiguration Christ showed His disciples 
the splendor of His beauty, to which He will shape and 
color those who are His: He will reform our lowness 
configured to the body of His glory’ (Phil 3:21).
- St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae



“As He then lived upon earth,
so now He lives in our midst,
but transfigured and veiled
to the bodily eyes 
[in the Blessed Sacrament].”

Fr. Frederick Wm Faber

"Christian faith's steady gaze upon Jesus
transforms us here and now." 
Fr Hans Urs von Balthasar

"Through your Transfiguration, O Christ, you 
returned Adam's nature to its original splendor, 
restoring its very elements to the glory and 
brilliance of Your divinity." - Byzantine Liturgy

All of us, gazing on the Lord's glory 
with unveiled faces, are being transformed 
from glory to glory into His very image 
by the Lord who is the Spirit. - II Cor 3:18

AMEN and AMEN
