Transfiguration
Jesus ascends
Peter, James, John follow
Alone with Jesus
On the mountain, away from all.
Jesus transfigured
Glory from glory
God from God
Light from Light
The Law and the Prophets testify
”This is he of whom we speak”
The Beloved Son
All of the Father within
”Listen to him and you listen to me”
Coming down
Back to the world, the cross to come
Glory pointing to sorrow, leading to glory
The three to be transfigured:
Peter, the rock, ruling in love
James, the son of thunder, soon to drink Christ’s cup
John, the eagle, the beloved son of Mary
Alone with Jesus
Transfigure me
Make me your beloved
Let me enjoy your favor
