RCL Reflections

I need a transfiguring experience in order to believe. I need to see things differently from the way I otherwise think they are. I need to be cognitively moved to a different place and shifted from my pedestal before I understand. Otherwise there is no glory, no awe, no majesty to my imaginings. Rationality, strict empiricisms, logic and drab experiences can drain my world of wonder. But when by miracle wonder is awakened, when there is a glimpse of a greater glory waiting to break in, then all the world is dazzled by hope and life is born anew.

See: Exodus 34:29–35, Psalm 99, 2 Corinthians 3:12–4:2, Luke 9:28–36 (37–43)
