Second Sunday of Lent

Here are the readings for the 2nd Sunday in Lent, March 20, 2011:
Genesis 12: 1-4a
Psalm 33: 4-5, 18-20, 22
2 Timothy 1: 8b-10
Matthew 17: 1-9

In the story of the transfiguration, Jesus is shown with Moses, who represents Jewish law, and Elijah, who represents the prophets- demonstrating that Jesus is both in line with and the fulfillment of Jewish tradition. We could imagine that such a vision might be a gift to strengthen both Jesus and his followers as the inevitability of his suffering and death and becoming more apparent.


  • In the light of Jesus' Transfiguration, what does being baptized in Christ mean for you?

The Candidates for Full Communion will celebrate the Penitential Rite during the 11:30AM Mass this Sunday, after which the Elect, Candidates, Sponsors and Team Members will leave for an afternoon retreat.
