Second Sunday of Lent


Each year on this Sunday, we get a version of this Gospel Story at Mass this weekend.

This story asks us to imagine the possibilities that Gospel Living can give us.

As I told the story at Mass this morning, ..."the bedouin used to lie flat on the floor of the desert." When asked why he does this, his answer came: "The desert speaks to me." Later when asked what the desert speaks, the bedouin replied: "The desert says, 'I want to be a garden.'"

Great images for Lent.

The Transfiguration reminds us that Jesus IS the Messiah, and that he WILL take us to himself, and make us like himself in glory FOREVER!
