The Transfiguration: Jesus Performed A Perpetual Miracle in Not Letting His Glory Shine

About this sermon

On the glorious Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, this powerful traditional Catholic sermon explores one of the greatest mysteries of Christ's earthly life: Why did Jesus reveal His divine glory on Mount Tabor? Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Church Fathers, and traditional Catholic theology, this homily explains Christ's possession of the Beatific Vision, the miraculous veiling of His glory throughout His earthly life, and why He momentarily unveiled that heavenly splendor before Saints Peter, James, and John. The sermon beautifully connects Mount Tabor with Mount Calvary, reminding us that every Christian must embrace both the light of consolation and the cross of suffering. Just as Christ strengthened His Apostles before His Passion, He strengthens us through grace so that we may one day share in His eternal glory. Discover why: Christ concealed His glory during His earthly ministry. The Transfiguration prepared the Apostles for the Passion. Grace transforms the soul "from glory to glory." The Beatific Vision reveals Christ's infinite holiness. Mount Tabor symbolizes the contemplative life. Every Catholic is called to sanctity through prayer, penance, and perseverance. As St. Paul teaches: "We all... beholding the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory..." (2 Corinthians 3:18) May this meditation deepen your love for Our Lord and strengthen your resolve to follow Him—not only to Mount Tabor, but also to Mount Calvary. "Permit me to follow Thee, O Lord Jesus, not only to Mount Tabor, but also to Mount Calvary."
