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 of Lent. Listen:
Gospel Mt
17: 1-9
Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them
up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his
face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold,
Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus
in reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three
tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still
speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud
came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen
to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much
afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” And
when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone.
As
they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the
vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
