Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
555
For a moment Jesus discloses his divine glory, confirming Peter’s confession.
He also reveals that he will have to go by the way of the cross at Jerusalem in
order to “enter into his glory”.295
Moses and Elijah had seen God’s glory on the Mountain; the Law and the Prophets
had announced the Messiah’s sufferings.296 Christ’s Passion is the will
of the Father: the Son acts as God’s servant;297 The cloud indicates
the presence of the Holy Spirit. “The whole Trinity appeared: the Father
in the voice; the Son in the man; the Spirit in the shining
cloud.”298
