Rise, and Do Not Be Afraid
Rise, and Do Not Be Afraid - Blessed Is She

“This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.” // Matthew 17:5


Jesus took them up, up, up

the high mountain by themselves

and He was transfigured before them.

 

Look into His face.

It shines like the sun.

Behold His beauty!

 

Notice His clothes.

They are dazzling white

as light. The radiant splendor!

 

Can you hear what He is saying

to Moses and Elijah?

Jesus brings fulfillment.

 

It is good that we are here.

Receive this Grace.

Remain in the mystery.

 

That bright cloud in the sky

Casting its shadow over everyone

The voice pierces through the cloud.

 

This is My beloved Son,

With whom I am well pleased;

Listen to Him.

 

What is the beloved Son

saying to you today?

Listen to Him.

 

The disciples cower

prostrate on the ground

full of fear.

 

Jesus came to them.

Jesus touched them.

Jesus reassured them.

 

Let Him come to you.

Let Him touch you.

Let Him reassure you.

 

Rise,

and do not

be afraid.

 

They listened to Him.

They rose.

They saw Jesus alone.

 

Down, down, down the mountain.

The slow descent

Do not tell the vision to anyone,

 

Until the Son of Man

has been raised

from the dead.

 

Who is this Son of Man?

He receives dominion,

glory, and kingship

 

All peoples serve Him.

All nations serve Him.

All languages serve Him.

 

An everlasting dominion

that shall not be taken away.

His kingship shall not be destroyed.

 

Encounter Jesus today

in His glorious Transfiguration.

Let Him transfigure you.

 

Let Him come to you.

Let Him touch you.

Let Him reassure you.

 

Rise,

and do not

be afraid.
