The Cross of Christ Unites. . .the Temporal and Eternal

The Way of Perfection by St. Teresa of Avila - Audio Mp3 Audio 3 Steps to Take as You Follow Christ

Ask—How does the “light” of Christ shine into the darkness of my world?

Seek—At every moment of the day say with St. Peter, “Lord, it is good that we are here!” Realize that when we follow Jesus we see the cross in a new light; we see everything anew where once we could only curse the darkness.

Knock—Meditate on 2 Peter 1:17-19.

He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when the Sublime Glory itself spoke to him and said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour’. We heard this ourselves, spoken from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have confirmation of what was said in prophecies; and you will be right to depend on prophecy and take it as a lamp for lighting a way through the dark until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.

What is the “power” that St. Peter speaks of as it relates to the Transfiguration?

What would happen if you followed his advice to keep the Transfiguration before you as a “lamp shining in a dark place”?

Transform Your Life—Many times we think of our lives as a combination of missed opportunities and mistakes with a few good choices. Applying the lesson of the Transfiguration challenges us to not be so quick to judge negatively but to take a more accepting view of the cross in our own lives. “It is good that we are here” right now, where we are—no matter how it might seem to us at the moment.

Thank you for bringing this reflection forward today Kris. After listening to it, in the middle of a difficult moment, i began to cry because it was exactly what i struggle with and what i needed to hear. There He was iin all His transfigured glory to save me again. Im so grateful to you, to the author, and to Discerning hearts and most especially to Jesus Christ. So beautiful!
