Time for Adoration
The Gospels show clearly that Peter was a man of action; he always needed to be doing something. So on Mount Tabor, instead of contemplating in silence and wonder the glory of his Lord, he wanted to build three tents. There is a time for stillness, for contemplation, for wonder, for adoration in the presence of God. A time to heed the words of the psalmist: “Be still and know that I am God.” Sometimes we are too busy. We would be better to be silent, to be listening, to be wondering, to be adoring in the presence of God.
Jesus on the Mount Tabor as his disciples witness his transfiguration. He became radiant and spoke with Moses and Elijah. He was called Son by God, "This is my son with whom I am well pleased.”
