Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,
We are already at the 2nd Sunday of Lent, and we are invited to reflect on the message of Jesus’ transfiguration and apply it to our lives. This event in the life of Jesus is an encouragement to let our light shine by bringing out the best that is in us – despite all the darkness that comes our way. We are also challenged to remain steadfast in our faith even in the midst of trials. St. Paul said, “If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?” (Romans 8:31) Our God who gave His only Son for us will surely protect us from all evil and give us all the help we need.
Let the celebration of the Eucharist be a profession of our faith in God’s unfailing love for us and a renewal of our commitment to live a “luminous life” while we navigate through light and darkness in our journey towards Easter glory.
AMEN
God Loves you!
