Homily: 2nd Sunday of Lent

Every year on the second Sunday of Lent we hear the Gospel story of the Transfiguration. A story that speaks of the brilliant LIGHT of Christ shining on all gathered – but juxtaposed with the dark Cloud of God which casts shadows and frightens. I think we could all find it easy to associate the Divine with the Light of Christ…but with darkness? 

See how the story of a starving 10 year old Ecuadorian girl can possibly shed light onto your darkness…
