In this important passage we find the "Gospel (Good News) for the dead." Jesus talks about the way in which he would soon fulfill God's purpose by dying. "... And Moses and Elijah returned to the dead and revealed this good news to those in the next world." Redemption was soon to come. Moses had died 1,500 years earlier, and Elijah 800 years before this event but both were privileged to be in attendance. We too are granted the grace of transfiguration, if we are wholeheartedly dedicated to him as we prepare to enter suffering.
On the Holy Mount is a plaque that reads, "The hour of Transfiguration came for Jesus when he was about to enter the night of suffering and death. As members of his body, we can only receive the grace of Transfiguration which he has won for us, by following the same path ... the pathway of humiliation and purification."
"O Holy Spirit of God, may we see Jesus in his glory, and be changed into his likeness."
