"While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!'" -Matthew 17:5
August 8th, we feast to commemorate the Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor, where He revealed His divinity before the Apostles Peter, James, and John.
"The Transfiguration of Christ reveals to us our ultimate destiny as Christians, the ultimate destiny of all men and all creation to be transformed and glorified by the majestic splendor of God Himself."
