Lord Remember Not Just The Good


"Lord: when You come in Your glory,
do not remember just the men of good will;
remember also the men of bad will.
And on Judgement Day,
do not only remember the cruelty,
torture and violence that they practiced:
remember too the fruits
that we produced because of what they did to us.
Remember the patience, courage, solidarity,
humility, grandeur of spirit and fidelity
that our torturers aroused in our souls.

"Lord, grant that the fruits we produce
may serve to save the souls of men of bad will."

Amen

Matthew 17: 1-9

The Transfiguration of the Lord

1 And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.

3 And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.

4 And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

5 And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

6 And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.

7 And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.

8 And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
