Transfiguration teaching on prayer and discipleship
The article reflects on Jesus praying on a mountain with Peter James and John, the Transfiguration as a sign of heavenly nearness, and lessons on retreat from crowds, cautious witness, and obedience. It references Luke 9 one week after a prior lesson and notes fear, silence about experiences until resurrection, and the role of inner circles in following Christ. The piece ends with a children’s vignette about a boy and a white rabbit illustrating gentler mercy in a medical setting.
