Excerpt: “How good it is for us to be here,” says Peter on the mountain of the Transfiguration. It is good for us to be here, and yet, though we are often in the presence of the risen Lord – in the Eucharist, in the scriptures, in the assembly of two or more in His name – we do not always obey the voice form the cloud and “Listen to Him.”(3) One of the most truly annoying things that can occur is to be with someone who is not with you. The realization that one has been speaking for some time to someone whose thoughts are elsewhere can be terribly frustrating. Have we been a potential source of frustra-tion to the Lord? One of the blessings of stewardship is that it focuses our attention. If we are concerned about making the best use of time, talent and treasure to please the Lord we are likely to be listening. Our stewardship transfigures our discipleship.
