His divinity shines forth (Bishop Robert Barron)

   What is the Transfiguration itself? [In the words of St. Paul], it is the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ. In and through his humble humanity, his divinity shines forth. The proximity of his divinity in no way compromises the integrity of his humanity, but rather makes it shine in greater beauty. This is the New Testament version of the burning bush.
