PARISH OFFICE CLOSED MONDAY 31ST JULY TO FRIDAY 4TH AUGUST . THE TRANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD - SUNDAY 6th AUGUST. This is an extraordinary Feast of hope which can help us to live differently, right now. We are invited, by reflecting on this significant event in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, to focus us on the end of the Christian life. The Transfiguration helps to explain the very meaning and purpose of life! We will all be transfigured, as the Lord Himself was transfigured, when our redemption is complete in the Resurrection of the Body. Then, we will live in the new heaven and new earth, in a transformed cosmos! This reality is meant to affect the way we live our lives beginning right now. On this Feast Day we are invited to consider whether the truth which it reveals is being embraced and experienced in our own daily lives. We are all invited into the experience. The path up that mountain proceeds through prayer and encounter. On that Mountain, Jesus revealed before mortal eyes the Transcendent Truth of who He is - and who Peter, James and John - and each one of us - will become in Him. They were invited to exercise their freedom and embrace the path that He had prepared. So are we, right now. www.bc.edu/bc-web/bcnews/
