2nd SUNDAY in LENT

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

tabor2Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday in Lent. We prepare during the Lenten season to experience the glory of Easter morning in our own lives.

Lent is for us the privileged season of change, transformation, or transfiguration. Our complacent and guilty faces have to be changed into faces of joy, love and service. The face of our world is to be changed from injustice into integrity, from hatred into kindness. We are afraid of change, especially at the cost of ourselves.

Today Jesus shows us the way. He saw suffering and death waiting for him and so his face and heart were sad. But then the Father made Jesus’ face radiant for he would find life and resurrection and his face became radiant with joy and glory. If we follow Jesus and let him transform us our face will become radiant too.
