We are now getting further into our Lenten journey as we commemorate the second Sunday of Lent this weekend. A lot of our families are going to be on spring break soon. With the pandemic keeping us from traveling a lot during the last couple of years, I know a lot of us are looking forward to some free time for some fun activities and to perhaps go out of town for a short while. We need those breaks to breathe new life into us.
By taking time off from our daily routine, we can become invigorated and renewed. It can give us a fresh perspective. In today’s Gospel, Jesus is transformed and transfigured right in front of his disciples. How they respond to the transformation they see in Jesus is up to them. Peter responds by wanting to go inside of himself rather than going out into the world, desiring to set up some tents for Jesus and the prophets Moses and Elijah who appeared with Jesus on that mountaintop.
This might help us reflect upon how we want to respond to the transformation that is available to us during this holy Lenten season. The Church invites us to enter into this Lenten season of renewal, conversion, preparation, and transformation, but it is up to us to respond and to engage in this holy season.
Blessings to all of you during this holy season of Lent. I pray that this holy season be a productive and fruitful time for all of us. Blessings to all of you. Father Lincoln.
