NGĦOŻŻU DAK LI HU SABIĦ U TAJJEB
Ta’ kull sena, fit-Tieni Ħadd tar-Randan, il-Knisja tlaqqagħna mal-esperjenza ta’ Ġesù u tliet dixxipli magħżula minnu, fuq muntanja għolja. Din insejħulha l-esperjenza tat-Trasfigurazzjoni.
L-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark jgħidilna li “Ġesù ħa miegħu lil Pietru u lil Ġakbu u lil Ġwanni, tellagħhom weħidhom fuq muntanja għolja, u tbiddel quddiemhom. Ilbiesu sar abjad u jgħammex b’dija tal-għaġeb”. San Mark jagħmel osservazzjoni: “Ebda ħassiel fid-dinja ma jista’ jġib il-ħwejjeġ bojod daqshekk”. U jkompli: “U dehrilhom Elija ma’ Mosè, jitkellmu ma’ Ġesù” (Mk 9, 2-3).
