2nd Sunday of Lent 2026

Matthew 17:1-9

How Listening Transformed My Life

Three Words that Changed My Life

Welcome to 2nd Suday of Lent 2026 today is Sun March 1. Today's Gospel reading and Encounter with Jesus is the familiar Transfiguration Matthew 17: 1-9

In this reading, we are placed within a great moment of time. Along with Peter James and John, and Elijah and Moses, we get to hear God speak directly into our lives. God says; This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased, listen to him”

Three words with Today’s encounter with Jesus that have changed my life: Listen to Him. How do you Listen to Jesus? This is something that I have been working on for some time now and still seem to need to be better at it.

There is

Praying and reflecting daily with the Gospel message

Going to Adoration and being in his presence.

When with others, I try to hear how Jesus may be speaking through them.

Going to Mass both in the Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Learning over time to listen to Jesus,has transformed my life in so many ways. Praying and reflecting each day with the daily Gospel reading allows Jesus to challenge me in new ways about my current life. Leading me to deeper conversion.

This Lent, how are you seeking to listen to Jesus a little more intentionally?

At the end of the reflection I take a moment to pray with you and give you tomorrow’s Gospel reading if you want to read it ahead of time.
