Transfiguration – 2nd SUNDAY OF LENT

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By
Isaac vs. Jesus

Today we celebrate the second Sunday of Lent. The Lenten Season is the time for our preparation for the great mystery of our faith which is the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and our own resurrection. From the beginning of the Church this time was the very special preparation for baptism, which is the same as resurrection – the journey from the death to life.

The different ways of our lives lead us through the valleys and through the mountains. Today we have the meeting with God on high. He shows us on the mountain of the transfiguration how to pray. He also shows us how to trust him by the example of our father in faith Abraham.

The Eucharist is the great event with God as the Transfiguration was. Here and now we pray to God by Christ, we hear also the Word of God, which is the response of God to our prayers.

“Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.”

One Main Point

God affirms Jesus.

Honor is extremely important in the Jewish culture, and Jesus is going to die a most dishonorable death. This affirmation, and especially the resurrection, ultimately restore the honor of Jesus.

Reflections

  1. Have I ever experienced the affirming Jesus? How does that feel?
  2. How can I hold on to that affirmation, so that I can have enough trust in God to go through the crucifixion with Christ?
  3. Do I really believe in the final victory of Christ and the fullness of His Kingdom? Do my actions reflect that belief?
