[Speaking of the transfiguration] In this light Peter spoke again: �Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.� [Matt. 17:4] It was a sad blunder, and yet a revelation. �Be it far from Thee, Lord,� [Matt. 16:22] he had said in sight of the Cross. �It is good to be here,� he said in the light of the glory. The Cross? No. The glory? Yes. It was as though he had said: Suffering and passion, and blood and death, I cannot look upon. This glory is what I crave for Thee, my Lord and Master. It was still the speech of love, blind and blundering, but yet love. It seemed as though the Master said in effect: I spoke to you of the Cross, and you were afraid. I spoke also of resurrection, and you did not hear, but come with me into a mountain apart, and in its light and glory My converse shall be still of the Cross.
