My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us go out into the world and truly share Christ with others by proclaiming and teaching His gospel fearlessly and solely with His power and authority. Let us also avoid all distractions with prayer, so that we can focus and concentrate on our mission of evangelizing the world.
Today’s parable reminds us to continually cloth ourselves with God’s sanctifying grace by staying awake, by being ready and by staying focused on our Lord and not letting temporal things, worries and concerns distract us from preparing ourselves for the coming of Christ, the Bridegroom, for we know neither the day nor the hour that will happen.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord today, let us work harder to listen to God, recognize and appreciate His presence in our lives with all His blessings, graces and mercies upon us; by truly and sincerely listening to, loving, respecting and worshiping Christ, His beloved Son with whom He is well pleased.
