2nd Sunday of Lent: The Transfiguration
On the second Sunday of Lent, we move from Jesus’ retreat to the desert and
temptation by the devil to the glory of Jesus’ Transfiguration. On the first Sunday of Lent,
our Gospel always tells the story of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. On the second
Sunday, we always hear the story of Jesus’ Transfiguration.
The Transfiguration occurs after Peter’s pronouncement that Jesus is the Messiah
and Jesus’ prediction about His Passion. A voice from the heavens speaks to the disciples affirming Jesus as God’s Son and commanding the disciples to listen to Him. This
voice from heaven recalls the voice heard at Jesus’ baptism which also identified Jesus as God’s Son.
In the Transfiguration, we see an anticipation of the glory of Jesus’ Resurrection. Not until they witness His Passion
and death will the disciples understand Jesus’ Transfiguration. We hear the story of the Transfiguration early in Lent with the benefit of hindsight. As we hear the story, we can anticipate Jesus’ Resurrection even as we
prepare to remember Jesus’ Passion and death.
