SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT FEBRUARY 21, 2016 SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA 21 DE FEBRERO DEL 2016

SECONDA DOMENICA DI QUARESIMA 21 DI FEBRAIO, 2016

“As you well know, we have our citizenship in heaven; it is from there we eagerly await the coming of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will give a new form to this lowly body of ours and remake it according to the pattern of his glorified body, by his power to subject everything to himself. For these reasons, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, you who are my joy

and my crown, continue, my dear ones, to stand firm in the Lord.” We ascend the mount, with Jesus and the apostles to pray. The words of Paul, can be considered the prayer of Jesus directed to us as we live lent. Through God’s grace we are reformed in His image. Through His example there is a makeover taking place in us. Lent is both a challenge and opportunity to let the Lord rework us according to His plan not ours. We find the pattern, the model, in the person of Christ. He spent time in prayer. He taught three chosen apostles. The voice told the disciples that He is the chosen, favored one, and we are to listen to Him. Seek some quiet time, a special place, to reflect on your encounter with Christ, as you begin this second week of Lent. May we too say, ‘Master, how good it is for us to be here.’ “En cambio, nosotros somos ciudadanos del cielo, y esperamos ardientemente que venga de allí como Salvador el Señor Jesucristo. El transformará nuestro pobre cuerpo mortal, haciéndolo semejante a su cuerpo glorioso, con el poder que tiene para poner todas las cosas bajo su dominio. Por eso, hermanos míos muy queridos, a quienes tanto deseo ver, ustedes que son mi alegría y mi corona, amados míos, perseveren firmemente en el Señor.”Ascendemos al monte, con Jesús y los apóstoles, a orar. Las palabras de San Pablo pueden ser consideradas como la oración que Jesús nos dirigió al vivir nosotros la Cuaresma. A través de la gracia de Dios somos reformados en su imagen. A través de su ejemplo cambios se logran en nosotros. La Cuaresma es tanto un reto como una oportunidad de permitirle al Señor moldearnos de acuerdo a su plan y no al nuestro. Encontramos el patrón, el modelo en la persona de Cristo. El dedicó tiempo en oración. Les enseñó a tres apóstoles elegidos. La voz les dijo a los discípulos que El es el elegido, favorecido y que debemos escucharle. Busque un tiempo a solas, en un lugar especial para refleccionar sobre el encuentro con Cristo al comenzar esta segunda semana de Cuaresma. Que podamos nosotros también decir: ‘Señor, ¡qué bien estamos aquí!’

Nella Trasfigurazione, Gesù è indicato come la vera speranza dell’uomo e come l’apogeo dell’Antico Testamento. Luca parla dell’“esodo” di Gesù, che contiene allo stesso tempo morte e risurrezione. I tre apostoli, vinti dal sonno, che rappresenta l’incapacità dell’uomo di penetrare nel Mistero, sono risvegliati da Gesù, cioè dalla grazia, e vedono la sua gloria. La nube, simbolo dell’immensità di Dio e della sua presenza, li copre tutti. I tre apostoli ascoltano

le parole del Padre che definiscono il Figlio come l’eletto: “Questi è il Figlio mio, l’eletto, ascoltatelo”. Non c’è altro commento. Essi reagiscono con timore e stupore. Vorrebbero attaccarsi a questo momento, evitare l’attimo seguente della discesa dalla montagna e il suo fardello di abitudine, di oscurità, di passione. La Gloria, Mosè ed Elia, scompaiono. Non rimane “che Gesù solo”, sola verità, sola vita e sola via di salvezza nella trama quotidiana della storia umana. Questa visione non li solleverà dal peso della vita di tutti i giorni, spesso spogliata dello splendore del Tabor, e neanche li dispenserà dall’atto di fede al momento della prova, quando i vestiti bianchi e il viso trasfigurato di Gesù saranno strappati e umiliati. Ma il ricordo di questa visione li aiuterà a capire, come spiega il Prefazio della Messa di oggi, “che attraverso la passione possiamo giungere al trionfo della risurrezione”.
