Readings: Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14World Youth Day. Lisbon. Pope Francis. Catholic Church. What has these to do with the Transfiguration of the Lord that we are celebrating today? What a wonderful spectacle it has been over these past few decades since St John Paul II began this celebration in Rome by welcoming youth from all over the world to come and meet him, to be with him and listen to him and celebrate the mysteries of our faith together with joy.
We may never truly know and are only speculating but what is more important to consider than the aspect of favouritism, exclusiveness or selectiveness, is the truth that Jesus had a greater purpose in doing that than making them ‘feel’ special.
What a fantastic mid-point journey in the exciting adventures of the three Apostles, especially Peter whom, earlier, Jesus had called the Rock on whom He would build His Church. World Youth Day is that moment of ‘transfiguration’ offered to those who have been ‘taken’ and who struggled up the high mountain together with the Pope, in order to witness to Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit again.
