As we face the prospect of death either in the foreseeable or in the distant future, faith in Jesus is our abiding hope and eternal salvation. The readings today certainly give us hope. 

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do innocent people suffer? Why does God allow evil in our world? Why me… why us… why them, O Lord?

The Scripture readings today are all about thirsty people. First, we have the Israelites, grumbling, griping to Moses that they had nothing to drink as they made their way through the desert.

One day on a mountaintop, in the company of Peter, James, and John, Jesus was transfigured and his identity was revealed as the beloved Son of our heavenly Father, the glorious fulfillment of Moses and the law, and of Elijah and all the prophets. They got a whole new insight into Jesus, the Lord and his mission.
