Transfiguration is living by vision:
standing foursquare in the midst of a broken,
tortured, oppressed, starving, dehumanizing reality, yet seeing the
invisible, calling to it to come, behaving
as if it is on the way, sustained by elements
of it that have come already, within and among us. In those moments when
people are healed, transformed, freed from addictions, obsessions,
destructiveness, self-worship or when
groups or communities or even,
rarely, whole nations glimpse the light
of the transcendent in their midst, there
the New Creation has come upon us. The world for one brief moment is transfigured. The beyond shines in our
midst—on the way to the cross.
