On the Second Sunday of Lent, we always hear the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus as a reminder to us that our time here on earth is fleeting and that our ultimate destiny lies in the kingdom of heaven. But heaven often seems far away and the demands of everyday life are unrelenting. That is precisely why Lent comes around every year! This season teaches us to devote more time and effort to our Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving so that we listen less to the noise of the world and more to wisdom of Jesus. After all, God the Father tell us – in no uncertain terms – to listen to his Son… shouldn’t we do what he tells us?
