Here is a photo taken on 1 August from the Telford bridge over the River Tay at Dunkeld in Perthshire. With the hill in the distance it forms a suitable image for today's Feast.
Jesus took Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became dazzling white.
Jesus was preparing the three disciples for his Passion - he was giving them a preview of his risen glory - prior to his suffering and death.
When we go to Mass, we too get a foretaste of the heavenly banquet which one day we shall attend. It is rather like heaven on earth.
Like Peter let us say, 'Master, how good it is for us to be here!' Sunday Mass should be the highpoint of our week.
