July 30, 2017 Collection $5, Children s $ E-Give.. $1, Today, the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, is a day of eyewitness accounts. The first, a vision reported by the prophet Daniel, was well known to Jesus and his apostles. The vision account was written in quite mystical and figurative language. It is a vision of heaven, powerful and memorable. There are flames of fire, burning wheels, the Ancient One, and a Son of Man. Clearly, Daniel saw something. But was it a dream? Was it real? Was it merely a clever myth? Peter wants no such confusion about his vision! We are told in Matthew's Gospel what he and his friends James and John saw when they went up on the mountain with Jesus one day. Jesus warned the three witnesses to tell no one until "the Son of Man has been raised from the dead" (Matthew 17:9). Lest readers of one of the Gospels discount the story or simply write it off as a pious myth, Peter gives his own account of the Transfiguration of Jesus in his second letter to the church. He writes with authority, as an eyewitness. He reports this message from God concerning Jesus: "This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased," and he assures us that the message is "altogether reliable" (2 Peter 1:17, 19).

WEDDING BANNS III Aaron James Singleton + Meghan Anne Bachtel III David Richard Hill + Alana Fawn Kolb II Jason Leonard Heiss + Karly Lyn Herman I Michael Thomas Hurley + Katey Jeanne Hoffman FAMILY PERSPECTIVES Whatever valley we are in, whatever crisis confronts us, whatever problem perplexes us, we have a completely reliable source of direction, strength, courage and wisdom. This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to Him. Families that gather in prayer and worship will be transfigured by the presence of the Lord Jesus. QUESTION OF THE WEEK What peak experience do you hold onto, or what experience holds onto you? How does it help you when it is time to bear your cross and share in Jesus passion?

"Saying the Hail Mary and the Rosary: Those who accept this devotion should have a great love for the Hail Mary, or, as it is called, the Angelic Salutation. Few Christians, however enlightened, understand the value, merit, excellence and necessity of the Hail Mary. Our Blessed Lady herself had to appear to men of great holiness and insight (St. Dominic)...to convince them of the richness of this prayer." From The Secret of the Rosary by St. Louis de Montfort.
