"This old man could never forget what happened to him on that mountain. The hike to the summit with his teacher and close friends, then the light, the confusion, the voice. He could not understand what had happened for a while. Only later, things began to make sense. What he saw and heard on that mountain changed his life, and he wanted it to change the lives of others too. Even when he grew old he would tell people about it to convince them that what he said, what he preached, was true.
"This man was the apostle Peter. At the beginning of his second epistle, he writes about this mountaintop experience with Christ. . . . "
In a recent commentary, Brother Nicodemus Thomas, O.P., reflected on "mountaintop experiences" and.their role in our lives.
