Let
us run with confidence and joy to enter into the cloud like Moses and
Elijah, or like James and John. Let us be caught up like Peter to
behold the divine vision and to be transfigured by that glorious
transfiguration. Let us retire from the world, stand aloof from the
earth, rise above the body, detach ourselves from creatures and turn
to the creator, to whom Peter in ecstasy exclaimed: Lord, it is good
for us to be here.
