Second Sunday of Lent

Dear Our Lady of the Assumption Parish Family,

On the mountaintop, Jesus pulled back the veil and let his closest disciples glimpse who he truly was \u2014 radiant, divine, and glorious. That moment was not just for Peter, James, and John. It was a gift for all of us. God the Father spoke plainly:\u00a0“This is my beloved Son; listen to Him.”<\/em>\u00a0In those words lies an invitation extended to every one of us \u2014 to draw near, to pay attention, and to trust that the same Jesus who shone like the sun is present with us still, in Word, in Sacrament, and in the quiet moments of prayer.

The Transfiguration reminds us that the path to glory runs through faithfulness, not comfort. Jesus knew what awaited Him in Jerusalem, and still He climbed the mountain and then descended it with purpose. He calls us to do the same \u2014 to stay awake spiritually, to follow Him even when the road is demanding, and to trust that His glory is not something distant but something He longs to share with us.\u00a0As Catholics, we are not merely observers of this mystery \u2014 we are invited into it, transformed little by little each time we receive Him and each time we choose His way over our own.<\/em>\u00a0

Have a blessed day.

Yours in Christ,
Father Edward C. Domme<\/div>\n
