Sr. Rosie Jasinski, our Country Leader, shared with us a reflection on the second week of Lent. I would like to share it with you. Enjoy!
Second Week of Lent
Reflecting on Transfiguration:
We come to “know” through encounter and relationship. When these mysteries are received as a gift; when they become a part of our prayer, reflection and lifestyle, they will unfold in their implications and have a transforming-a transfiguring – effect upon us.
So it is with the Transfiguration.
Jesus has shown us the way up the mountain and invited us into a new way of living in Him, through living the “mystery” that we recall as Transfiguration. Living in that mystery we are invited to go into the world and invite all people into the new communion of love where they can begin the process of conversion and transfiguration.
Re-born, we are all invited to join with Peter, James and John and cry out in our day: “It is good for us to be here.” On this Second Sunday of lent, as we reflect on the Transfiguration of Jesus, let us enter more deeply into the mystery of faith by living in the Transfiguration now. It truly is good for us to be here.
As we progress through our Lenten pilgrimage together, let us draw encouragement from the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ and experience the grace of these forty days so that we might greet Easter, reflecting more fully the image and likeness of Jesus Christ in our living, in our ministry and in all our relationships.
Let us continue to keep each other and all those to whom we minister in our prayers during this Lenten journey.
Much Peace,
Rosie
