 2nd Sunday of Lent

The Gospel - Mark 9:2-10

Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James & John 

Last Sunday’s Gospel described Jesus’ entry into the wilderness and I suggested that this is a time of encountering God. In Sunday’s Gospel, while the setting is different, we glimpse such a moment of encounter. It is described as a moment of transformation, or transfiguration. An encounter with God changes us. In the Gospel this is depicted as the outer change in Jesus’ appearance, but for most of us, the experience of God brings about an inner change, a change of heart. Jesus knows himself in this moment to be God’s beloved one. When we listen to people speak of their moments of experiencing God, they too speak of knowing themselves as God’s beloved.
