Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Lent. We are preparing 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.
Today Jesus shows us the way, the spiritual journey. 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.
