Jesus took three of his disciples to the top of a mountain to experience dead prophets now alive, and a voice from a cloud saying, "This is my beloved Son, listen to him." If you were one of the disciples, what impact would this experience have on you?

Reading further about Our lady of Snow, i found out that the church was built wher a aòpinting reresenting Our Lady was saved miraculously by the river flooding. The church was also the only building which survived the bombings in the world that destroyed the whole street. The whiteness of the vests like the purity of Mary would have struck me. Which calls the image of the Baptismal vest we waer when as babies we get annointed with the chrism that fills us with the Holy Spirit. Shining forth now in front of the disciples. You can hear that voice of God also...blessing to all Baptised babies :)For more links:http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q=Our+Lady+of+Snow&btnG=Cerca&meta=

Why 12?

Not 24 or any other even number as they had to go out two by two. Then.To help each other. Originally though they were 13 because of Judas who betrayed Jesus..but then he was replaced. Maybe am gettingh my maths totally mixed up so ignore.Also true that if 13 all together, then Jesus went to Heaven so they were left to twelve and anyway they were meant to multiply and they are far more than 12 now. Even then you needed enough to keep the word spreading as many died martyrised. They had to call as many if each called another twelve...the number would have dramatically increased.So it could be a call a reminder of faithfulness: sent out in teams of two do not betray the other liked Judas did. Why thne 12 and not lets say 16? Because Jesus started preaching in the temple aged 12 so as none of them was a shepard or in any way connected by family blood links to the Pharisees...it was maybe a form of encouragemnet. You have my teaching via the Father who spoke via me even when i was at the onset of my adolscence late childhood. You are men. The basket makes you also think of Moses abandoned to the currents of the river and yet never abandoned but guided to the mission God had reserved for him.And even Jesus who was the High Shepard was the carpenter son of a carpenter: he had to build the Church of which he was the cornerstone. In the midddle of the arch the gateway to Heaven. Anything to do with bricklaying rules in the sense that the other sides have to be harmoniously made of an equal number of stones? 6 on each side...a Christ centered countering to 66 the number of the beast?
