It takes a giant leap of faith to understand the meaning of today’s Gospel incident, when Christ was transfigured before the very eyes of the apostles Peter, James, and John (Mk. 9: 2-10).

Indeed, the dramatic contradictions and hardships which plague contemporary man makes our world often divided against itself. Just as Jesus predicted. It is unthinkable that as He said He would be the cause of this division.

The woman with a hemorrhage needed to touch Jesus, even only his clothes. And she was healed. But Jairus’ daughter was touched by Jesus; and she, who was physically dead, was healed and came back to life.

A week later, we were reminded that His love was even way beyond that — all the way to giving one’s very life for the sake of love.

Picture the gentle Jesus with a whip in His hand chasing the sellers who had turned the holy Temple into a marketplace. We note, not with a little amusement, that the animals for sale – oxen, sheep, doves, etc. were for sacrifice. The moneychangers were seated right there. The same scene could happen in Quiapo or Baclaran or any church where people take business advantage of the comings and goings of worshippers.
