In this week's edition of There's more in the Gospel than meets the eye, Jill
Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the Second
Sunday in Lent. Listen:
GospelLk 9:28B-36
Jesus took Peter,
John, and James and went up the mountain to pray. While he was
praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling
white. And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who
appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish
in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but
becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with
him. As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master,
it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for
you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But he did not know what he was
saying. While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a
shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the cloud. Then
from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my chosen Son; listen to
him.” After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They
fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.
