Retreat Mass / Youth Reflection

2 And after six days Jesus took with him
Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves;
and he was transfigured before them, 3 and his garments became glistening,
intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Eli'jah with
Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, "Master,
it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for
Moses and one for Eli'jah." 6 For he did not know what to say, for
they were exceedingly afraid. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud,
"This is my beloved Son; listen to him." 8 And suddenly looking around they no
longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. 9 And as they were coming down the
mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of
man should have risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves,
questioning what the rising from the dead meant.
HOMILY
Intro: Last week our youths had a retreat on the mountains
of Zambales with Bro. Mike. In one of their meetings, they prayed with
this passage of the Transfiguration. All of them felt that God is
speaking to them. What I thought today is to let two of them to share
something about their experience of how God spoke to their lives through his
Word especially with this gospel.
...( youth shared their own
experiences )
Concl:
You see how wonderful it is when you are with Christ and be open to listen to
Him! May this Lent continue to help us to open our ears to Jesus, to
listen to his voice especially with the word of God and let him transform our
heart so that we will become more like Him.
