The Transfiguration stuns (Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI)


  Have you ever had the experience of being touched very deeply by something that left you, in its wake, strangely inarticulate?

  The experience is profound -- it moves you, frightens you, teaches you, changes you and you know it is doing you good -- but you are left stunned, wondering how to respond...

  The transfiguration of Christ always stuns those who witness it.  However, like the earliest followers of Christ sensed when their normal perception of Christ was transformed, It is good that we are here.

--Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI, 
Poverty and Transfiguration 
(with reference to his experience in Egypt), 
February 28, 1983
