DAILY HOMILIES #Peter James and John

We all experience transfiguration now and then, moments of excitement, discovery, or joy. Sometimes, we may experience ecstasy while in prayer; we may even see a vision or receive an apparition of Jesus or the Saints. These things come and go. They are highlights of our journey, not destinations in themselves. We can never make them permanent. Do not be a miracle-seeking Christian. God is with us even in the most ordinary events of life.

Many obstacles and potholes usually mar the journey to anything excellent and beautiful. Even serving God is not easy. No one, not even Jesus Christ the Son of God, was spared suffering, pain, and sorrow. Like gold, which has to experience fire, you would face a lot of fires that would remove impurities from you. Don’t give up on God. Don’t think that your prayers are in vain. Things would not always be like this. Don’t worry: after the story comes the glory.
