Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord
Place a cross near the entrance of your home. Talk together about how this symbol serves as a reminder to listen to Jesus and allow him to transform your life. As family members enter and leave your home, you will be reminded to love God and others as Jesus did.
With the more relaxed schedule of summer, this is a perfect time to invite another person or family to join your family at Mass or another parish event. Talk together about whom you might invite. If appropriate, invite the person or family to Mass followed by breakfast or lunch together.

Transfiguration (Year A)
WOW Experiences With Others
Gospel: Matthew 17:1-9
You can really get to know friends by the people they hang around with.
At school, Frank knew lots of people. He hung out with the athletes, the brains, and the kids involved in student government. Frank always had a good word and a quick smile to share with anyone he met.
One day, Jesse arrived at school. As the new kid, Jesse didn’t know many people at first. But, in no time at all, Jesse knew Frank. And, through Frank, Jesse quickly made new friends.
While Frank was friendly, he didn’t do well in Language Arts. Reading bored him. Writing was a chore. Giving public speeches scared him. Jesse, however, did well in Language Arts. He loved to read about new people, new places, and new adventures. Give Jesse a chance to write or give a talk and he would deliver.
One day, Jesse sat quietly engrossed in a book. Frank came up, greeted him and asked, “What are you reading?” Jesse’s eyes grew wide as he described the characters, the plot, and the action of the book. “What happened next?” Frank asked.

The Magnificent Migration
“The Magnificent Migration,” by Sy Montgomery. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Boston, 2019, 153 pages, Grades 7-9.
The writing in this book is outstanding and the photography is remarkable. Montgomery gives readers the feel and sense of the migration and the majesty of the Serengeti Plain.
There are several mild profanities in the text and one scientist, upon finding a badly injured wildebeest, issues an agonized, “Oh my God.” However, it doesn’t seem to me like she was taking the Lord’s Name in vain but rather calling upon God’s assistance in this tragic situation.
Having said that, the book is of the highest quality. The photos are stunning and readers will feel that they too have made the migration. I hope you get a chance to read this book and share it with older readers. I learned much from it and think you will, as well.
