Change is in the air
We are quickly approaching the beginning of Lent, 40 days of reflection and waiting for the Resurrection of the Lord. Lent marks a time when we challenge ourselves to really think about our actions and intentions toward others. When Christ took the apostles Peter, James, and John up to the mountaintop, he was transfigured before their eyes; during Lent we begin to transform ourselves into better human beings. It was up on that mountain that God said the words: “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.” This Lent let us listen for the Lord and open our minds and our hearts to his transforming presence.TODAY’S READINGS: James 3:1-10; Mark 9:2-13 (340)
“From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this need not be so.”
