For 1 March 2015, 2nd Sunday of Lent, based on Mark 9:2-10
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.†He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!†Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.
As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean.

Thank you Karla for being the sister who travels in the contemplation of such a dazzling glorious God with me. I feel the darkness of this time of my life and of many lents bringing me sweet drops of sparkling dew upon my dried up soul… Reaching for the ability to open my eyes enough to take in the blinding light from the sky and the snow so the beauty of Jesus and His Holy Spirit will truly reign over my fears and losses. I appreciate being able to reflect with you. It is like sitting by a fire allowing the warmth and light to slowly wake my soul and trust in Him no matter what happens or is happening. Dazzle me Jesus with your unending glory and love! Praise you! Thanks Karla!
