On this second Sunday of Lent we hear from God the Father Himself proclaiming to the terrified disciples on the top of the mountain:
โ๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐๐ค๐จ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ฃ; ๐ก๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ข.โ
Pretty big deal, right? The Gospels are not myth or legend, but eye-witness accounts written by the disciples that knew and walked with Jesus during His time on earth. From Luke’s Gospel, we hear about the experience where Jesus’ body is illuminated by light (Transfigured) as He transcends space and time in conversing with Moses and Elijah.
Our very bodies are something good, as declared by the Catholic faith. We can degrade the body or we can obsessively worship the bodyโby the truly Catholic stance is honoring the body because we are our bodies; we are a body and soul composite, destined to follow Christ in the illumination of heavenly life.
The question of who Jesus is, His very identity, is so important. If we miss this pieceโand the goodness of His earthly body โ we miss the point of Christianity.
We hope to see you at the weekend Mass times where Father Don is preaching or stop by and visit Jesus at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel or at daily Mass during the week.
