LISTEN TO THE BELOVED SON OF GOD

Second Sunday of Lent Year C TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS Luke 9:28b-36 “Master, it is good that we are here.” Peter told Jesus saying” it is good for us to be here” because Peter dont like Jesus to come down the mountain. Why? For practical reason: He doesnt want Jesus to be crucified. He don’t like Jesus to suffer. Sometimes we can associate our life with Peter. We are afraid of suffering. We love to embrace a Christ without a cross. We love to remove the cross from Christ. But you know what, NO CROSS, NO CROWN! Satan dont like the cross. He is only after of the crown. Brethren, our glory is the cross. Life without a cross is not a comfortable life. Life without burdens is not a blessed life. Triumph without trials has no pleasure. Friends, don’t be afraid of suffering, its only until Calvary. It is only temporary. It has an expiration date. The more we try to avoid suffering, the more we suffer. Suffering is a blessing from heaven. Amidst of our struggles, pains and sufferings, come down from your Mt. Tabor and get ready to march towards your Calvary. Keep going because our journey will end in glory. Finally, if we wanted to experience real, authentic and genuine transformation, the answer according to the gospel is by LISTENING TO JESUS. We need to constantly and faithfully listen to Him. If we wanted to be transfigured let us disfigure ourselves from sin. It is sin that makes us ugly. It is sin that disfigure our beautiful image. It is sin that makes us not attractive. It is sin that makes us not good looking. Brothers and sisters, listen to Jesus because He is the Beloved Son of God. Blessings Fr. Jhack
