Scripture Reading
Matthew 17:1-5
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."
Reflection
On the mountain of Transfiguration, the disciples were given a glimpse of who Jesus truly is — radiant, divine, the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The Father's command was simple: listen to him. Lent is a season for listening, for quieting our own voices long enough to hear the beloved Son. The glory revealed on the mountain sustains us as we follow him toward Jerusalem and the cross.
