“This is My beloved Son;
in Whom I Am well pleased,
listen to Him.”
Matthew 17:5
“I Am the Light of the world.
Whoever follows Me
will never walk in darkness
but will have the Light of Life.”
John 8:12
“Let us listen to the holy Voice of God
which summons us from on high,
from the holy mountain top.
There, we must hasten – I make bold to say –
like Jesus, Who is our leader
and has gone before us into Heaven.
There, with Him, may the eyes of our mind
shine with His light and the features of our soul
be made new; may we be transfigured with Him
and moulded to His image,
ever becoming divine,
being transformed in an ever greater degree of glory.”
St Anastasius Sinaita (Died 6th Century)
Priest and Abbot
“At His Transfiguration
Christ showed His disciples,
the splendour of His Beauty,
to which He will shape and colour,
those who are His :
‘He will reform our lowness
configured to the Body of His Glory.”
St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Doctor of the Church
“ It is necessary, therefore, to obey
the Eternal Father by following Our Lord
in order to hear His Word.
And behold, how we are taught that all
persons, whatever their condition may be,
must pray and meditate,
for it is there, principally,
where this Divine Master speaks to us.
… But, it will not do us any good to listen,
if we do not DO what He says to us,
observing His commandments
and His wishes faithfully,”
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor of Charity
