Dear Friends,
Jesus is transfigured on the mountain. Moses and Elijah appear with Him. They are two key figures in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. Moses represents the “law.” Elijah represents the “prophets.” The whole of the covenant is often expressed by the term “the law and the prophets.” All that took place in the life of Israel leads to the coming of the Christ, the Messiah, Jesus. Jesus is the fulfillment of all the hopes of Israel and the promises of God to the patriarchs. While Jesus can rightly be considered a prophet, He is something more. Peter does not yet realize this when he suggests building the three tents; he is putting Jesus on the same plane as Moses and Elijah. So the Father intervenes speaking from the cloud that envelops them “This is my chosen Son, listen to him.”
Congratulations to all our catechumens and candidates who participated in the Rite of Election last weekend at the Cathedral. We look forward to walking with you on this journey of faith and to celebrate with you the initiation sacraments.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the blessing of the SS Ann and Joachim Columbarium at the cemetery. I would like to particularly thank Charlie Parkerson and our Cemetery Advisory Board, Kathy McVey-Ryan and the Finance Council and Chip Duke and the Pastoral Counsel and Deacon John Teson for all their efforts in bring this to completion. The new columbarium will allow us to offer this type of interment to the faithful as they care for the remains of their loved ones. It is also a sign of hope, that we who die will rise again.
God bless,
Monsignor Prior
