There are times in our lives when we too, are intensely aware of God’s presence with us and in us – moments of prayer, of insight or of comfort, when we are emptied of pain and doubt and fear, and are filled with faith, hope and peace. And like the disciples on the mountain, we too long to freeze that moment, to stay in the heights and forget about the world below, where life and faith are a constant struggle. But that is not God’s way. God’s way leads us back down the mountain. For it is there that our mission lies – to bring God’s presence, to bring hope and healing love, to a hurting and suffering world.
