The Transfiguration of the Lord…throws a dazzling light on our daily life, and makes us turn our mind to the immortal destiny which that fact foreshadows. That body, which is transfigured before the astonished eyes of the Apostles, is the body of Christ our brother, but it is also our body called to glory. That light, which bathes it, is and also will be our share of inheritance and of splendor. We are called to share such great glory because we are 'partakers of the divine nature' (2 Pt 1: 4).The above quotes are excerpts from the text that Pope Paul VI had prepared for the Angelus on August 6, 1978 but was unable to deliver. He died thirty years ago that evening.
