The first reading from the book of Genesis shows us Abraham ready to do God’s will in bringing his son Isaac to be sacrificed. This is a terrifying story that shows us the ability of a heart to align with God, even when one does not understand what God is asking. Do we trust in God’s character to be true? Do we trust that he will not go against his own Commandments? Abraham does. Abraham shows a readiness that is inspiring. “Here I am.” In the gospel reading we see Jesus transfigured and Moses and Elijah next to him. Peter explains how good it is to be here in this precious moment. Jesus wants to show His divinity before the passion to give them hope and strength. God never asks for more than He knows we can handle. And He works with us. He shows these three apostles His divinity Since we are made in His image and likeness, we have a spark of that divinity in our souls. We are more than our bodies.
