THE SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT - BEING TRANSFIGURED IN JESUS THE CHRIST..............
Entering the 2nd Week of Lent on this Sunday, we hear Matthew's version of the Transfiguration of Jesus proclaimed. The Transfiguration Event occurring on a high mountaintop in the presence of Apostles Peter, James, and John, displays a foretaste of the Glorification Jesus receives in the fulfillment of the Paschal Mystery of His Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension. It also is a further attestation of the Divine Sonship of Jesus The Christ by the Heavenly Father. As Jesus was transfigured in the presence of some His key Followers prior to his Crucifixion and Death, to assure them and all who Believe in Him to trust in God's Will for us and our Salvation; how are we as Catholic-Christians transfiguring ourselves for and in Christ Jesus this Lent ? A dozen days into this journey of Repentance and Conversion how productively are you transfiguring yourselves away from the selfishness of Sin and back to being centered in the God of Creation Who sets us free and redeems us ? The Transfiguration of Jesus previews for us what our Humanness will look like in Eternity. Seeking to embrace future glory in and with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, make the remaining days of Lent a shared Retreat of shedding the obstructions to Holiness and Fidelity, in order to fully become God's Easter People of fully Living Faith..............Fr.
