In part, it was to show us how much we mean to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there is the baffling side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How could divinity \u201csqueeze\u201d into a Babe in a manger in Bethlehem? Isn\u2019t that like trying to squeeze the ocean into a thimble?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet such is the mystery of the Incarnation. The Transfiguration was but a dramatic reminder to the apostles that divinity lay within the Jesus whom they thought they knew well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This paradox can also be applied to the mystical body of Christ: the Church.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It too shows a human side that can lead its skeptics to dismiss it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet under the surface is the majesty of Christ its head and the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is good to remember when the Church seems like a voice in the wilderness, defending the dignity of unborn human beings and marriage and the marginalized. Its message doesn\u2019t depend on majority votes but on \u201cthe way and the truth and the life\u201d (John 14:6).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To focus on Truth itself, consider praying along with our Retreat Guide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/anchored-in-light-a-retreat-guide-on-the-transfiguration-of-the-lord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/rcspirituality.org\/retreat_guide\/anchored-in-light-a-retreat-guide-on-the-transfiguration-of-the-lord\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1721246204878000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1PMNRHNIuuuSCiuJMHU6ou\">Anchored in Light:\u00a0 A Retreat Guide on the Transfiguration of the Lord<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>And remember that the same Jesus Christ who was transfigured remains with us in his mystical body the Church.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Christ,<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Edward McIlmail, LC <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/ask-a-priest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ask a Priest contributor<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends in Christ, Today\u2019s feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord reminds us of Christ&#8217;s majesty and divine glory that lay beneath the surface of his human nature.
