God’s Transforming Love

Why is it that on the second Sunday of Lent, the Church wants us to reflect on the transfiguration of Jesus? What happened on the top of that mountain was to strengthen the faith of the disciples who were about to face the scandalous death of their master on the cross. Like the three disciples, we also have to descend from that mountain, face our challenges and trials, and be transformed by God’s unfathomable love.
