Second Sunday of Lent
It strikes me today that Sunday is so opposite for me.
I decide to walk to church today even though I usually take Sunday off.
But today is the first day of Spring and at 6, it's lovely out.
As I walk I realize that I start my Lenten weekdays with 6:30AM mass,
and on Sunday I am going to the 6:30PM mass.
I go because my daughter sings.
I am the commentator tonight
At 6:30 the Youth are the Lectors,
so I am a Lector without a mass- for 2 more years.
Being a Lector is something I really miss
I stopped in the Sacristy and the Book was there.
It's so beautiful, inside and out
and I was able to admire it
and think about what it means to me.
The Word of the Lord
We have Father Ron tonight
and the new Youth Mass Music Director, Keith Guthrie
has some new music for us.
We practice singing some of the choruses before we start.
It's a good mass.
The homily is inspiring.
The Gospel is the Transfiguration story
and Father Ron tells us that we see Jesus as he really is-
radiant, full of light
and able to help us.
And that when we partake of the Eucharist, we will be transformed like Jesus
and will have the light too.
And that is what will get us through this Lent
and through this troubled, uncertain time
Amen
