It only happens every five or six years...and this is one of them! Today, August 6 -- the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord -- falls on a Sunday. While the feast isn't a Holy Day of Obligation, when it falls on a Sunday it supercedes the ordinary liturgical calendar day (in this case, the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.)
Which is a blessing for us, because this means we hear the event of Jesus' Transfiguration on two Sundays this year.
My questions to you are:
1.) On what Sunday, every year, do we hear of Our Lord transfigured into glory?
2.) Why do you suppose this is so?
