This Sunday we celebrate the Transfiguration of the Lord. As Tony Crescio explains, what we see taking place in the life of Christ on the mountain of the Transfiguration is what God intends for each of us to experience as members of Christ’s Body, the Church. But how do we know if this transfiguration is taking place? Tony suggests that reflecting upon one’s life in light of the Beatitudes is a good place to start.
