Parish News: The Transfiguration and the 18th Week of the Year

In the Transfiguration we see that Jesus is the fulfilment of the promises of the prophets of the Old Testament. To those patriarchs of old it was promised that the fulness of God’s mercy would be known by all nations of the world; in Jesus Christ we see that promise fulfilled. Through him all who wish can become children of God.
