Weekly Message from Deacon Rob on the Sunday Readings

It is not surprising that today’s

selections for readings are in juxta-

position to last week’s Liturgy of the

Word. Last week, the beginning of the

penitential season of Lent, told of God’s

willing assistance to those who place

their faith in Him. The Gospel, itself,

conveyed the Temptation of Jesus in the

desert. Christ successfully passed where

Adam had failed and as a result received

the grace needed to confront His

supreme test – the Cross. The message

was clear. God will assist all who reach

out to Him in order to bring about

victory. Today’s Liturgy of the Word

reveals the ultimate reward, God Himself, that is

bestowed upon those who truly listen to the Word.

The result of truly “listening” to the Word is reflected in

the second reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the

Philippians. Paul clearly exhorts the Christians to live life

according to the model they have received. The Apostle to

the Gentiles reminds all that people of the “world” are

corrupt and the end result will be their destruction.

However, Christians own citizenship in heaven and will

reap the glory received by Christ if they adhere to His

teachings. Despite whatever sufferings may come their

way, the Christian who relies upon God will be rewarded

just as Christ was.

This reward is revealed in today’s Gospel according to

Luke that relates the Transfiguration of the Lord on a

mountain. This divine event has been misinterpreted by

many Christians throughout the ages; however, the

significance of it is inestimable. According to many

theologians, it is here that Jesus encounters Moses and

Elijah and learns of the extent of the Messiah’s sufferings.

While this is true, there is another important factor

involved. It is at this point that the full divinity of Jesus is

revealed to his disciples and they are privileged to see him

in all of his Glory. This is the total

revelation of who Jesus really is – God!

Following Christ’s willful acceptance of

the Father’s plan for salvation, the

Father is moved to declare, “This is my

chosen Son, listen to him.” After this,

things return to normal and Jesus heads

to Jerusalem to fulfill the Will of the

Father.

This miraculous event presents a

paradox to Christ’s followers who were

witnesses on the mountain. Jesus

continues to preach that he must suffer

and die. This statement would run

contrary to what the disciples would

expect of their Messiah. According to all the different

beliefs, the Messiah was to establish a new and eternal

kingdom. The Lord’s followers would naturally be

thinking as men do. They would be expecting and desiring

a geopolitical kingdom where the Jews would be supreme

ruler. The upcoming events would challenge their faith

and cause them to fear for their own survival. This

singular event they witnessed would be the slim thread

they could grasp as they awaited the glorification of the

Lord.

Today, Holy Mother the Church reminds us of this divine

revelation. The Transfiguration of the Lord recalls for us

the Divinity of Christ who conquers all – including sin and

death. It is a glimpse of what awaits us if we “listen to him”

and follow his voice. God is calling all through our baptism

to be part of His Chosen People. We are a people who

does His Will and imitates Christ’s sacrificial love for all.

As we shed our mortal framework, we put on the armor

of light. It is through this Light that we show the world the

path to the Father. It is road transverse first by Christ,

then, by those who follow him. Through prayer, almsgiv-

ing and fasting, we prepare for the great Paschal Mystery

where we will rise in glory with our brother, Jesus.

SAINTS OF LENT: SAINT JOSEPH March 19 The Holy Scriptures state St. Joseph, the husband of Mary, was a just man. He became holy by opening himself totally to God and His will. He was simply, joyfully and wholeheartedly obedient to God. He demonstrated his faith be marrying Mary who was pregnant, naming Jesus, shepherding his family to Egypt and bringing them safely to Nazareth. St. Joseph is a great intercessor to pray to for encouragement and guidance.
