1Mar26 (26aL2) On the Second Sunday of Lent, we hear the Transfiguration: Jesus reveals His glory to Peter, James, and John to strengthen them for the coming Cross. God doesn’t give everyone the same experiences, but gives each the grace they need—never overwhelming our freedom, always inviting faith. We’re reminded to notice how God has already been at work in our lives, and to let that grace bless others. The homily also connects the Transfiguration to the Eucharist: Christ is truly present, but hidden, so we learn to love the Giver—not just the gifts—and to persevere in faith and charity.
