Mk 9:2-10
The amazing event of the Transfiguration, in which Jesus showed James, John, and Peter his
heavenly splendor, is described in this chapter. The fact that Moses and Elijah are there
indicates that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. Human wonder and a wish to
respect this heavenly event are evident in Peter's answer. The voice from the cloud emphasizes
the value of paying attention to Jesus while reaffirming his status as God's favored Son.
Thinking back on this incident makes one consider the significance of Jesus' identity and how
important it is to heed his teachings.

Gospel: Mk 9:2 - 10
Reflection:
This week is the second sunday of lent. Our gospel talks about how Jesus lead a few
selected disciples up a high mountain by themselves and transfigured himself in clothes that
were a dazzling white. The gospel talks about tranformation. that when we follow our Lord,
we will tranform ourselves into a purer and more virtuous version of ourselves. That when
we follow Christ, we follow the will of the Lord and become better people and a better
person, not only for us, but also for the people that surrounds us.
