After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him. Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. -The 4th Luminous Mystery

donating organs
Question from on 05-02-2007:
is it okay to donate blood? when we die is it okay to donate our organs to someone who may need it? if we did, what happens when jesus returns for all of us? i think that since jesus was intact when he came back from death that it sets the example for us and that when we die we also have to be complete body-wise.
Answer by Fr.Stephen F. Torraco on 05-03-2007:
It is morally permissible to donate organs to other persons(with the exception of the brain and the gonads)either as a living donor (as long as the donation does not endanger your own health and life) or as a deceased person. Such donations are not an impediment to the resurrection.
