The Gospel: This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.Mark 9:7 God commands the disciples to listen to God’s beloved Son. Jesus is the Word made fleshthe Word of God. John Dear, in his book entitled Transfiguration, writes, Jesus is my beloved, the Faithful One, the Chosen One, the One who fulfills my every wish. Listen to him, be like him, speak like him, love like him, act like him. The words of the Father, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him, are at the heart of t...he transfiguration of Jesus. They remind us that Lent is a season of prayerful listening to Jesus. To be contemplatives in action. To allow the God’s beloved Son to transfigure our lives. Our discipleship depends on it. We, too, have been invited to climb the mountain with Jesus this Lent. In doing so, we experience the transfiguring love that empowers us to share in the cross and resurrection of Jesus See more
