You recall Jesus’ transfiguration: While Jesus was at prayer on a mountaintop, Peter, James, and John witnessed Him become “more brilliant than the sun.” Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus, and the disciples heard them discussing his “exodus.” The scene culminated with a cloud (the Shekinah, or cloud of God’s glory) overshadowing the mountain as God the Father proclaimed, “This is my beloved Son, listen to him” (Lk 9:28-35). We all want to hear God’s voice the way Peter, James, and John did; and the narrative of Jesus’ Transfiguration gives us a blueprint for doing that – a practice known as lectio divina, “divine reading.”
