Reflection
Jesus reveals His glory in the Transfiguration, giving Peter, James, and John a glimpse of divine splendor. Lent calls us to our own transformation: we are meant to shine with God’s presence in our daily lives. As we face trials or carry our crosses, remember the promise of glory and the call to listen to the beloved Son. This moment of revelation strengthens us to follow Christ faithfully on the journey toward Easter.
