Second Sunday of Lent
March 12 2017
Second Sunday of Lent (Genesis 121-4 Psalm 33 2 Timothy 18-10 Matthew 171-9)
John Craghan ThD SSL
Pain + service = blessing We prefer to isolate ourselves from others needs We count it a blessing if we can be left alone left out of suffering How difficult it is to see the union of our pain and our call to service as the way to real blessing Yet this is the view taken in todays readings Abram is asked in todays passage to endure the pain of leaving his fathers house in order to travel to the land of Canaan The author carefully links Abrams movements with a message of blessing for others I will bless you and make your name great so that you will be a blessing (Genesis 122) The author of Second Timothy presents Paul as a model of apostolic devotion in the preaching of the gospel He exhorts the recipients of the letter to join with me in suffering for the gospel (18) He adds that Gods call is a free gift that should benefit others There is pain associated with preaching the Good News Paul suffers as a criminal in chains but the word of God is not chained (29) The Transfiguration of Jesus captured a moment of very intense prayer Matthew by describing Jesus face and clothes makes him a part of the heavenly realm Jesus is acknowledged as the Son of God and so Peter addresses him not as rabbi but as Lord The descent from the mountain links the glorified Son of God with the suffering Son of Man The transfigured One of the heavenly realm is also the humiliated One of the earthly sphere Each day we seek our identity by interacting with others and by becoming partners with them especially with their pain and frustration By accepting baptism we accept the cross of others We are not isolated rather we are involved and so the words spoken to Abram are also applicable to us In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed (Genesis 123) Pain + service = blessing
