Ordinary Time: August 6th
Feast of the Transfiguration
Fr. Hugh had the Introduction of the Mass.
Today we celebrate the feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord.
St. Leo the Great calls this a great sign. It indicates the
hidden glory of Christ but is always with us.
St. Paul says that we are changed.
“We are unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord are
changed into the same images from glory to glory.

My dear brethren, there is no doubt that the Son of God took our human nature into so close a union with himself that one and the same Christ is present, not only in the firstborn of all creation, but in all his saints as well. The head cannot be separated from the members, nor the members from the head. Not in this life, it is true, but only in eternity will God be all in all, yet even now he dwells, whole and undivided, in his temple the Church. Such was his promise to us when he said: See, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (Pope St. Leo the Great)
