Second Sunday of Lent
In Transfiguration, Jesus changed His appearance in front of the apostles and then a
mysterious cloud came over them. The apostles were terrified as they entered the
cloud. Every one of us is a constantly-unfolding mystery. When we enter into a
relationship with another, we can expect change and we should expect it to be
unsettling, for it might require us also to change.

Pope Francis Prayer for the Jubilee Year of Mercy - You are the visible face of
the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness
and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and
glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order
that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who
approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and
consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a
year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring
good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore
sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
(Excerpted from Pope Francis Prayer for the Jubilee Year of Mercy).
