2 Dear Parishioner, The story of the Transfiguration in today's Gospel is wonderful. Peter is blown away, doesn't know what to do or say. Seems to think maybe they should stay where they are forever. Suggests he would build a little shelter for Jesus, as well as for Moses and Elijah. Will that make their stay permanent? Then the voice - "This is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." Pretty much the same words spoken as Jesus emerged from the waters of the Jordan when he was baptized by John. There can be no doubt that this is the Messiah. Why then were they afraid? Isn't this what they had been waiting for, hoping for, praying for? I was asked to preach the homily at the funeral of one of my neighbors, on Monday last, at St. Francis Xavier in Wilmette. My friend, Dennis Weber, loved to fish and the holy card distributed had a picture of him doing what he loved. The fisherman's prayer was on the reverse side of the card. It goes like this: I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray: When in the Lord's soft landing net, I'm peacefully asleep that in his mercy I be judged as good enough to keep. In Luke, Chapter 5, when Jesus told Peter to go out in the deep water and drop his nets, he responded: "We have worked hard all night and not caught anything, but Lord at your command we will do so". They caught so many fish their nets were tearing. Turning to Jesus in amazement Peter says: "Depart from me Lord, for I am a sinful man". Peter, the fisherman, full of bluster; but when you come right down to it, in the presence of this magnificent moment, were he and James and John afraid that, ultimately they might not be judged as good enough to keep? Was remaining on the high mountain in ecstasy a way to postpone the challenge of the hard work and the trials ahead, and maybe even being judged? Aren't we all sinful? Aren t we all a little bit afraid we are not good enough? But fortunately it is not about us; it is about our God, who loves us so much he is willing to forgive us anything if we but turn to him. Like Peter, James and John, we can't stay on the mountain top forever. Ecstatic moments come and go. The good news - when we descend and return to the nitty-gritty of our everyday lives, our God remains with us. Through our ups and downs our God never leaves us. He will be with us always. Sincerely, Mike McNulty
