“The Father’s Voice Is Heard” by Urszula Rogala

Listen to this beautiful meditation on the mystery which Jesus revealed to his disciples on Mount Tabor, written by a Polish composer Urszula Rogala from the Dominican Liturgical Centre in Kraków.

The Church reads this story at least twice a year: on the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord (6th August) and on the second Sunday of Lent. Jesus took with him Peter, James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray. As he prayed, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became brilliant as lightning. Suddenly there were two men there talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they kept awake and saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ – He did not know what he was saying. As he spoke, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid. And a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.’ And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time, told no one what they had seen. - Luke 9:28-36
