In the Transfiguration, God reveals the glory of His Son for the disciples and for us all.  Not only does this help us to "see" who Jesus really is, it strengthens us during times of trial and difficulty.  What we see in the glory of Jesus Christ will be ours one day if we follow him.  May the words spoken in the Gospel today be directed to each one of us: "This is my beloved son/daughter, in whom I am well pleased."
