LENT: TEST, SACRIFICE AND GLORY: THE JOY OF RESURRECTION: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

The readings of this Sunday point us to the necessary pain, suffering, and sacrifice of Lent. These lead to the renewal or transformation of our spirit, soul, and body. They invite us to be courageous when making a sacrifice for God. As our sacrifice renews God’s blessings upon us and strengthens our will to go through life bear with patience our crosses.

THE CROSS OF PAIN IS THE CROWN OF GLORY: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

The context of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ relays to us that the cross of pain is equally the crown of glory. It is clear that the passion, suffering and death of God: Jesus Christ is not alone a concern or shock to his disciples, but also a scandal. How could the almighty, powerful and saving God be so vulnerable, weak and helpless in the hands of men? It is a mystery incomprehensible.
