His face shone
like the sun and his clothes
became white as light.
On this Sunday we are suddenly carried,
almost with astonishment, onto
Mount Tabor, the symbolic place of the
meeting between heaven and earth,
where light is no longer reflected
but radiated, and where we are allowed
to glimpse that our humanity still
has much to discover in order to be
redeemed—far more than we imagine
or than we settle for believing.
On Tabor, an experience unfolds of the highest theological and anthropological significance: humanity and divinity are revealed not as foreign or opposing realities but as two poles in a deep, complementary relationship, mysteriously united in the person of the Son. In him, the human person rediscovers that he or she is a paschal creature, that is, called to live each day in an attitude of self-giving and resurrection.
