Episode Synopsis
Listen to Him: The Transfiguration and the Tent of the Heart
Today’s Homily reflects on the mystery of the Transfiguration, celebrated twice each year, . . .
. . . and draws connections between the vision in the Book of Daniel, the Gospel account, and the liturgy of the Mass.
The Homily emphasizes that the Transfiguration reveals Jesus not just as a foretaste of the Resurrection, but as the One who fully bears the divine authority, glory, and voice of God. On the mountain, the veil of His humility falls away, revealing His luminous divinity in the presence of Moses (the Law) and Elijah (the Prophets), both of whom find their fulfillment in Christ.
Our Almighty Father Commands the Disciples to “Listen to Him”
God’s voice from the cloud affirms Jesus as His Son and commands the disciples to “listen to Him,” shifting focus from sight to hearing and from temporary visions to the enduring “tent of the heart.”
The Homily applies this mystery to the Mass, where hearts are lifted with Christ, who becomes truly present on the altar. Receiving Him in the Eucharist is dwelling permanently with the fullness of God’s self-revelation, a call to live daily in attentive listening to Him.

Quote from the Homily
This is not the Lord rejecting Moses or Elijah. He speaks through them, but the fullness of his speaking is found in and through Jesus Christ. What Almighty God is saying to St. Peter, you only need one tent.
You don’t need three. You need that tent of permanence in your heart where you abide with him and listen to him and enthrone him and live with him.
The Lord never says it’s wrong to ask for what you did, but he clarifies what you should be asking for. Listen to him. Remain with him. Abide with him and why. The eye sees many things. But what the eye sees, passes very quickly and fades. However, listening, when we listen and when we retain what is said, what is heard continues to speak, and it remains.
