Glory to you, O Christ, Wisdom of God the Father. From a bright cloud, the Father’s voice was heard: “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.” Glory to you, O Christ, Wisdom of God the Father.

MASS TIMES THIS WEEK

SUNDAY 1st March

Second Sunday of Lent

Preaching about the Transfiguration, Pope Benedict XVI once said: “This is the crucial point: the Transfiguration is an anticipation of the Resurrection, but this presupposes death. Jesus expresses his glory to the apostles so that they may have the strength to face the scandal of the cross and understand that it is necessary to pass through many tribulations in order to reach the Kingdom of God. The Father’s voice, which resounds from on high, proclaims Jesus his beloved Son as he did at the Baptism in the Jordan, adding: ‘Listen to him.’ To enter eternal life requires listening to Jesus, following him on the way of the cross, carrying in our heart, like him, the hope of the Resurrection.” Taking to heart Jesus’ example, we go forth unafraid, willing to bear hardship for the sake of the Gospel. O Lord, we place our trust in you.
