Second Sunday of Lent

Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.

Jesus converses with both Moses and Elijah because he is the continuation and fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. This is why they disappear when Jesus is revealed as the beloved son of God. He alone is the accomplishment of God’s plan of salvation. Just as he is transfigured into the fulfillment of God’s Divine Will, so are we. When we become Christ in our daily lives, we reflect God’s love into the world and become well beloved sons and daughters to Him.

What can we do to be better reflections of Jesus? How can we make Jesus the source, center, and summit of our every thought, word, and work? How can we be transfigured into Christ?

O Lord, help us to converse with you and be transfigured into your Divine Image.

Amen.
