Jesus –
Up on a high mountain, transfigured before us, we see the vision of Your fullness.
We desire to build a dwelling for You – to contain You on that mountain.
But, we cannot contain You, the Beloved. We cannot contain Your shining face and dazzling clothes. We cannot contain Your connection across time that runs through Moses and Elijah, through the law and the prophets.
Come down the mountain and be fully human with us – touching us, instructing us.
At Your touch, may we look up, see the divine within, and listen.
Amen.
(Transfiguration Sunday is February 19.)
