Silence

1And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4Then answered Peter, and said unto 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.
5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

Matthew 17:1-9


During the old days God speaks to the prophets in mountains or somewhere in seclusions, away from preying eyes. God gave to Moses the commandments in Mount Sinai. He was alone. Remember the times that our child is busy playing and every time we interrupt him to be hugged or kissed he resisted and continues on what he was doing. God is also like that. He thirsts for our presence and love, away from the company of men. Sometimes He shut the doors so that we will be confide to ourselves and will have the time to speak to God. In solitude with God we will loose all earthly desires and find peace and tranquility.
