The second letter of Peter in the texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary for today is an account of the personal experience of Peter on the mountain with Jesus during which Peter became convinced of the relationship of Jesus to the Father. The vision described in the passage from the Book of Daniel is an extra worldly commission of power and glory to a human like figure by a Divine One. The psalmist praises God who reigns from a throne righteousness justice and glory. These experiences of the Divine can be compared with the personal revelation of Jesus nature and his mystical link as Son and fulfillment of the Law (Moses) and the Prophets (Elijah). The hand of Jesus is intimately present to bring peace to the spirits of James, John and Peter as they process what they have been shown about their Master. We experience glimpses of the glory of God in the people and places around us. We are invited to allow the resonance of our indwelling Spirit with the Spirit of Jesus to be the intimacy which brings peace and trust to those moments.
