Pope John Paul’s Second Last Second Sunday of Lent

  (Here are a few words from the great Pontiff, from his second last Lent in 2004) JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS Second Sunday of Lent, 7 March 2004     1. “Jesus took Peter, John and James, and went up onto a mountain to pray” (Lk 9:28): this is how the Gospel of the Transfiguration of Christ begins,[…]

The great reason for this transfiguration was to remove the scandal of the cross from the hearts of his disciples, and to prevent the humiliation of his voluntary suffering from disturbing the faith of those who had witnessed the surpassing glory that lay concealed. – Pope Saint Leo the Great
