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 with the assistance of Christ, we hear also the Word of God, which is the response of God to our prayers.
