Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Luke 9:28b-36

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see your best friend transformed, or turned into his or her glorified self, right before your eyes? That's the kind of experience Peter, James, and John have in today's Gospel. While they are up on a mountain with Jesus, they have a splendid vision of him in his glorified body. They see him talking with Moses and Elijah, two long-dead figures from the Old Testament. Moses represents the Law, while Elijah represents the prophets. In Jesus, both find the fulfillment of God's plan of salvation. 1.) The disciples are awed when the voice of God confirms Jesus' identity: "This is my Son, my Chosen One." How will you honor Jesus as the Chosen One of God during Lent? 2.) Three traditional ways are: daily prayer, fasting, and sharing with the poor (almsgiving). How can you include these three Lenten practices in your daily life?

Evangelio: Lucas 9:28b-36 ¿No sería maravilloso ver a tu mejor amigo transformado en un ser glorificado ante tus propios ojos? Ese fue el tipo de experiencia que Pedro, Santiago y Juan tuvieron en el evangelio de hoy. Cuando estaban en la montaña con Jesús, tuvieron una visión del cuerpo glorificado de Jesús. Vieron a Elías y a Moisés, dos figuras muertas desde hacía mucho tiempo, hablando con él. Moisés representa la Ley, mientras que Elías representa a los profetas. En Jesús ellos encuentran el cumplimiento del plan de salvación de Dios. 1.) Los discípulos se sorprendieron cuando la voz de Dios confirma la identidad de Jesús: "Este es mi Hijo amado, escúchenle". ¿Cómo honrarán a Jesús como el Escogido de Dios durante la Cuaresma? 2.) Hay tres formas tradicionales: oración diaria, ayuno y compartir con los pobres (limosnas). ¿Cómo vas a incluir estas tareas prácticas de Cuaresma en tu vida diaria?
