The Lectionary for Mass— Second Sunday of Lent
First Reading: In chapter 12 of Genesis, God came to Abram and promised to bless him with descendants. Through those descendants the world would also be blessed. God comes to Abram again and twice repeats the earlier promise, but Abram is skeptical at first. He had no children and a wife who was long past her childbearing years. How would God give him descendants? Abram’s questions are really questions about God’s reliability. Can God be trusted to do what he promised? God’s dramatic response is to make a covenant with Abram. While Abram sleeps, God performs an ancient covenant ceremony. God passes through the pieces of a sacrifice, saying in effect, “May I end up like this sacrifice if I do not fulfill my promise to Abram.” The relationship between Abram and God binds both of them. Abram is not the only one to greet God’s messages of hope with skepticism. Many of us may find such messages hard to believe. Lent, however, is a time when we remember that hope does not depend on us. Our hope is in God’s covenant faithfulness shown to us in Jesus Christ. Responsorial Psalm 27: In the midst of false accusations and plotting adversaries, the psalmist turns to God for shelter. Through an awareness of God’s ongoing faithfulness and goodness, the psalmist finds courage and confidence to face the surrounding turmoil and trouble. God is the light that guides, the stronghold that gives shelter. Second Reading: Paul wrote his letters to communities such as the Philippians after the early believers’ experience of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection. He preached the hope of salvation through the Cross and by belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul invited believers to imitate his own path to righteousness and reject the lure of evil. It is the profession of faith in Christ crucified and raised from the dead that separated those who awaited the Second Coming. Paul saw all others as enemies of the Cross of Christ. Paul’s final instructions say stand firm in the Lord. Listen to what you have been taught. Be faithful as others have been faithful before you. Remain steadfast, for in doing so you will remain grounded in God who offers a citizenship not of this world but of heaven. Like the disciples in today’s Gospel who experience how different following Jesus will be from their expectations, if we listen to God through the words of Paul, we too will encounter God as our ancestor Abram did.
Gospel: Luke’s version of the Transfiguration emphasizes hope. While Mark connected the Transfiguration to Jesus’ death, Luke deliberately tied it to the Resurrection. Hence, Luke refers to the “eighth day,” to the Exodus, and to Jesus’ glory—all symbols of the Resurrection and Easter. Through these symbols the readers of Peter, James, John and Luke receive a glimpse of the Resurrection, a taste of the glory that waits on the other side of the Cross. It is a beautiful vision, filled with light, white robes, Old Testament luminaries, and even a voice from heaven. No wonder Peter wanted to stay. Most of us would have too. The key, however, is not to hold on to the vision but to listen to Jesus, the crucified and now Risen Savior.
