#Bible verse for today march 16 2022 full
Resolution : Today I’ll take up the Gospel and read a passage from it, exercising my faith in it as God’s own Word, full of light and truth. Give us your strength to stay the course. Do not let us grow weary, especially when the path is difficult. You, the Eternal Word of the Father, lead us on the path of holiness. Let us ask for the grace to pick up the Gospel with renewed simplicity, with a generous and open heart, with faith and confidence in God, that we might hear the words of the Son of God.Ĭonversation with Christ : Lord Jesus, you so loved us that you came to show us the way to live our lives in the truth. Let us ask for the grace to listen to Christ. And it is the Father who calls on the Apostles to listen to his Son, his beloved Son. He speaks to the world as the Son of the Father. The New Covenant is proclaimed by the Son himself. They did not know that he would be God’s only Son, born of a woman. They spoke in veiled language, in symbolic language, and though they perceived a Messiah would come, they did not fully know him. They bear witness that their mission, and that of all those sent by God throughout the centuries of Israel’s history, was a preparation for the coming of Christ.
My Beloved Son: Moses and Elijah appear in glory. He has not fully understood, but he has grasped that to be with Christ, to live in the light of the Master, is to live in joy.ģ. Peter says what comes to his mind-that he wants to remain there always. They are overcome by their experience of Christ in his glory. He is dazzlingly white, almost too bright for their eyes.
At his side stand Moses and Elijah, conversing with him in an unmistakable attitude of respect. Waking up, they are overawed at what they see. Then the sound of voices invades their sleep, and they feel a bright light on their closed eyes. The Apostles are tired out with the climb, and although they try to pray, they soon fall fast asleep. The Master’s Light: They reach the summit of the mountain.
Although at times the going is tough and obstacles seem to be everywhere barring our path, like Peter, James and John we know for certain that the Lord is with us.Ģ. We need to learn to follow Christ wherever he leads us. He has always shown himself to be true, and so Peter, James and John stand firmly in their trust in him. They do not understand, but they have learned to trust him and have followed him ever since he called them. They wonder when the Lord will stop, where he is taking them, what is the purpose of their journey. They have already forgotten about the other Apostles. The farther up the mountain they go, the more their attention is centered on Christ. The Master has chosen them alone to accompany him up Mt. Following the Master: The Apostles Peter, James and John felt privileged that day. Petition : Lord, grant me the grace to encounter you more intimately.ġ. During this time of Lent I wish to leave aside the old man and become more like you. Introductory Prayer : Lord Jesus, I come to you with great confidence, seeking to bask under your rejuvenating light. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son listen to him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was saying. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white. Jesus took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray.
