As we mark the end of the second week of Lent, we pause to reflect on the profound significance of Jesus’ Transfiguration. Just as Jesus retreated to the desert and faced temptation during the first week of Lent, His Transfiguration reveals the glory and power of God in the midst of his earthly journey.
In the presence of Peter, John, and James, Jesus is transfigured, his face shining like the sun and his clothes becoming as white as light. This moment offers a glimpse of Jesus’ divine nature and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
As we journey through Lent, we are invited to contemplate the Transfiguration and its implications for our own lives. It serves as a reminder of the power of God to transform us from within, even in the midst of our struggles and temptations.
During this second week of Lent, let us pray for the courage to face our sin with honesty and humility. May we trust in God’s power to forgive and to transform us, enabling us to die to sin and share more fully in the glory of His divine life.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
As we journey through this Lenten season, we are reminded of the glory revealed in Jesus’ Transfiguration. Grant us the courage to face our sin with confidence in your power to forgive and transform us. Help us to die to sin more deeply than ever before, so that we may share more fully in the glory of your divine life.
Jesus, we trust in you. Amen.
