"He was transfigured before them" (Mt 17:2). The good news that the feast of the Transfiguration offers us is in this event of light: the man Jesus changes his appearance in the presence of three of his disciples and the divine nature that dwells in him shines out in all its fullness before human beings created in the image and likeness of God. Thus it is the very gaze of the disciples that is transfigured, benefiting from a new light in which to contemplate the Son of Man. A new gaze - that of Peter, James and John on Tabor and that of each and every one of us when we raise it towards the transfigured Lord - that enables a different discernment of the realities we find at the foot of the mountain, in our daily pilgrimage towards the heavenly Jerusalem. A gaze renewed and made clairvoyant by frequenting the Law and the Prophets - present through Moses and Elijah - and by listening to the beloved Son, as the voice of the Father resounded on Tabor asks us to do.
Letter to Friends No. 76 - Transfiguration 2024
A few days before our community retreat - preached by M. Michela Porcellato, prioress of the Camaldolese Monastery of St Anthony in Rome - and our annual general chapter, Prior Br Sabino met Pope Francis in private audience. With cordiality and a fatherly attitude, the pope inquired about the path of the Community, to which he has always remained close during this time. He entrusted the prior with his word of encouragement and his blessing for each brother and sister, and his exhortation to continue to walk confidently behind the Lord, in fidelity to his call.
