Lent 

During this season of Lent we reflect on the ways in which we can reconnect with God and prepare ourselves for the Easter season. Last Weekend, the Second Sunday of Lent is the time when the Transfiguration is read at Mass. This Scripture passage reminds us that God’s promise is fulfilled in the humanity of Jesus. With Jesus’ face shining and his clothing illuminated he hears the words of God proclaiming Him as God’s son. This moment is a pinnacle moment for Christians. Jesus standing on a mountain also symbolises the connection between God and his own Son, with the highest physical place of the mountain symbolising reaching towards God. This is the moment which best helps us to recognise that Jesus, who was foretold, was fully human and is fully divine. God’s promise continues to be revealed to us as we continue our Lenten journey.
