Transfiguration of the Lord

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, I congratulate you sincerely with the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord!

An event that happened on Mount Tabor is the absolute confirmation of Jesus’ Christ words that He is God’s Son.

The Lord took the human image to lead people to salvation!

Chosen Apostles on Mount Tabor saw the other and the main nature of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Their eyes saw that the image of Their Teacher became incredibly bright and luminous. But what a great grace and happiness they felt in souls! This happiness and blessedness overfilled them so much that always reserved Apostle Peter exclaimed: “Teacher, how good is to be here!”…

The man is created in God’s image and after Lord’s likeness. And if a person does God’s things on the Earth, he fills up with light and happiness and he transfigures. It is a pleasure to be near such man.

In this festive day I want to congratulate all faithful and wish you all to work enthusiastically to transfigure your souls. That Jesus Christ in His glory could enter the aura of this transfigured Light.

Glory to Jesus Christ!
