A
reflection on
the Gospel for
the Second
Sunday of
Lent
|
|
Lent is
supposed to be
a time of
penance and
fasting. If
so, then
today’s
lesson seems
oddly out of
place. Instead
of a message
about
repentance, we
hear a message
of great hope.
Instead of a
call to cast
down our eyes
in shame for
our sins, we
are asked to
lift up our
eyes and see
the marvelous
future that God
has planned for
us. Yes, it is
strange to hear
the story of
the
Transfiguration
in the middle
of Lent.
Nonetheless,
the church
tells us the
story to remind
us of the aim
of our penance
and of our
repentance. We
are looking
forward to a
day when we too
shall be
transformed as
Jesus was.
Lent is, after
all, a season
that asks us to
leave the old
habits behind
and look
forward to a
new life with
God and with
Christ. In
other words,
Lent prepares
us for living a
life we have
yet to imagine.
This is the
meaning of
Jesus’
transfiguration.
God allowed
the disciples
to see Jesus as
God saw him,
full of
radiance and
light, so that
they may see
how God will
also see us
someday, also
full of
radiance and
light.
Jesus’
transfiguration
shows us the
light at the
end of the
tunnel, the
radiance that
someday will be
ours when the
last enemy,
death, will be
forever
conquered.
When that day
comes, we too
shall shine
forth with a
radiance and
light that is
nothing less
than the love
of God for his
children.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio del
Segundo Domingo
de
Cuaresma
|
|
Se supone
que la Cuaresma
sea un tiempo
de penitencia y
ayuno. Si es
así, la
lectura de hoy
parece algo
fuera de sitio.
En lugar de un
mensaje de
arrepentimiento,
escuchamos un
mensaje de gran
esperanza. En
lugar de una
llamada a bajar
la vista
avergonzados
por nuestros
pecados, se nos
llama a
levantar la
mirada y mirar
el maravilloso
futuro que Dios
ha planificado
para nosotros.
Si, es raro
escuchar la
historia de la
Transfiguración
en medio de la
Cuaresma. Y sin
embargo, la
iglesia nos
cuenta historia
para
recordarnos el
objetivo de
nuestra
penitencia y
nuestro
arrepentimiento.
Estamos
mirando a un
día en
el que nosotros
también
seamos
transfigurados
como
Jesús.
La Cuaresma,
después
de todo, es una
estación
que nos invita
a dejar
atrás
nuestras
antiguas
costumbres y
mirar a una
nueva vida con
Dios y con
Cristo. Es
decir, la
Cuaresma nos
prepara para
una vida que
aún ni
nos imaginamos.
Este es el
sentido de la
Transfiguración
de
Jesús.Dios
permitió
a los
discípulos
ver a
Jesús
tal cual lo ve
Dios, lleno de
brillo y luz,
para que
pudieran ver
cómo
Dios nos
verá a
nosotros
también
un día,
también
llenos de luz.
La
Transfiguración
de Jesús
nos muestra la
luz al fin del
tunel, el
brillo que
será
nuestro cuando
el
último
enemigo, la
muerte, sea
vencido para
siempre.
Cuando llegue
ese día,
también
nosotros
brillaremos con
una luz que no
es nada menos
que el amor de
Dios hacia sus
hijos.
