The Second Sunday of Lent provides us the gospel of what happened at the summit of Mount Tabor. Our Lord is famously transfigured. This happens in the presence of His three favorite apostles: Peter, James and his brother John. Our dear Jesus sought to enkindle their faith and strengthen their hope. This is so kind of Him to give them assurances that despite His coming suffering and death on the cross, He will be glorified and triumphant in the end. Although He will be practically unrecognizable because His sacred Humanity will be destroyed, behind it all is His glory, His victory, His divinity, and power above anything that the Devil, the World and the Flesh can hurl against Him. Be of stout heart, He would be telling them. I will undergo this but rest assured I am in control. This is our unshakable hope!
