A lecturer teaching medicine was tutoring a class on 'Observation'. He took out a jar of yellow-colored liquid. "This", he explained, "is urine. To be a doctor, you have to be observant to color, smell, sight, and taste."
After saying this, he dipped his finger into the jar and put it into his mouth. His class watched on in amazement, most, in disgust. But being the good students that they were, the jar was passed, and one by one, they dipped one finger into the jar and then put it into their mouth.
After the last student was done, the lecturer shook his head. "If any of you had been observant, you would have noticed that I put my second finger into the jar and my third finger into my mouth."
Last Sunday in CG
What does the Transfiguration mean for us? When we have had a conversion experience, what do we do with the experience? Do we descend from the mountain to spread the Good News, or do we attempt to build tents and remain basking in the 'high' of the experience? Are we truly converted by our experiences? True conversion requries conversion of the mind, heart and will. If not, it will be a short-lived conversion, and we will revert to our original state before the conversion experience.
