Reflection:
On the mountain the disciples saw Jesus in a new way. Sometimes in friendship there are moments of sharing in which we get to know a friend in a new and deeper way. After their experience the disciples came down the mountain and continued their journey to Jerusalem. We cannot live each day at a high level of spiritual experience, but the memory of them can strengthen us in our difficult times.
