Sunday 13 March 2022 – II OF LENT
From the Gospel according to Luke (Lk 9: 28-36)
At that time, Jesus took Peter, John and James with him and went up the mountain to pray. While he was praying, his face changed in appearance and his robe became white and dazzling. And behold, two men were conversing with him: they were Moses and Elijah, appeared in glory, and they were speaking of his exodus, which was about to take place in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions were oppressed by sleep; but when they awoke, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.
As they separated from him, Peter said to Jesus: «Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three huts, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah ». He didn’t know what he was saying.
While he was speaking thus, a cloud came and covered them with his shadow of him. Upon entering the cloud, they were afraid. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: “This is my Son, the Chosen One; listen to him! ».
As soon as the voice ceased, Jesus was left alone. They were silent and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
