Latest News (Week 1)
March 1 – March 7
Transformed by His Glory
On this Second Sunday of Lent,
the Gospel of the Transfiguration invites us up the mountain with Jesus. There, He reveals His glory to Peter, James, and John, and they hear the Father’s voice:
“Listen to Him.”
In this sacred moment, the disciples are strengthened for what lies ahead. The glimpse of Christ’s glory prepares them for the journey toward the Cross.
Lent invites us to do the same —
to step away from distraction, to listen more closely to the Lord, and to allow His light to transform our hearts.
May this season draw us nearer to Christ, strengthen our faith, and help us follow Him with renewed trust and devotion.
