Short Reflection for the 2nd
Sunday in Lent (C)
Readings: Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18;
Philippians 3:17-4:1 or 3:20-4:1; and Luke 9:28b-36
Selected Passage:
* While Peter was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and
they became frightened when they entered the cloud. * Then from the cloud came a voice that said,
"This is my chosen Son; listen to him." (Luke 9: 34-35))
Reflection: Jesus was
transfigured before his disciples. Then they heard the voice from the cloud
saying: ‘this is my chosen Son; listen to him.’
The challenge to each one is to hear again that same voice during this
season of Lent and begin to listen again to the Word of the Lord.
Let the Transfiguration be the
presence of Christ, which takes charge of everything in us and transfigures
even that which disturbs us about ourselves. God penetrates those hardened, incredulous,
even disquieting regions within us, about which we really do not know what to
do. God penetrates them with radiant light, with the life of his Spirit, and
gives them God’s own face. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
