SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT (08/13)
The experience of the ‘transfiguration’ in today’s Gospel
is an important one. It gives those
involved – Jesus and his disciples – strength for the difficult journey
ahead. This Lent, may we also be
renewed in our journey in life. In
particular, we pray that our own ‘transfiguration’ moments truly change us and
renew us to live lives of loving service for those most in need of our help and
support.
