What is the Transfiguration?

The Transfiguration of Jesus is one of the key events in Jesus’ life. He took three apostles – Peter, James, and John – up to a high mountain to pray. As they were praying, His appearance changed, and His clothes became “dazzling white.” At that point, Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke to the Lord about His upcoming death. A cloud overshadowed the group, and God the Father’s voice came from the cloud saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”

The motto, originally formulated in Latin as “Citius, Altius, Fortius,” was used before the modern Olympic movement at St. Albert the Great School in Paris, where the Dominican friar was the principal.

I'm reminded in this moment of St. JPII, who also miraculously survived an assassination attempt, who -- crediting Our Lady of Fatima -- said, "One hand fired the gun, another hand guided the bullet."

Thanks be to God for preserving the life of Donald Trump.
