February 25, 2024 – Second Sunday of Lent

From the Gospel according to Mark (Mk 9,2-10)

At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, alone, alone.
He was transfigured before them and his clothes became dazzling, very white: no fuller on earth could make them so white. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses and they were conversing with Jesus. Taking the floor, Peter said to Jesus: «Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let’s make three booths, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” In fact, he didn’t know what to say, because they were scared. A cloud came and covered them with his shadow and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is my beloved Son: listen to him!”. And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone except Jesus alone with them.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell anyone what they had seen, except after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. And they kept the matter between themselves, wondering what it meant to rise from the dead.
