"At that time, Jesus took Peter, John and James with him and went to the mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white."
‘And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!’ And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.’

SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT YEAR C
​
Theme: The Joy of Becoming within the Earthly yet Perfecting Tent of God’s Kingdom
​
In today’s Gospel reading, the Apostle Peter, responding to our Lord Jesus’ Transfiguration, deemed it his duty to construct three tents for our Lord and the two great prophets of old, Moses and Elijah. They encountered the Lord on similar mountains in their respective eras: Mount Sinai for the Decalogue and Mount Horeb for a silent revelation.
