"We recognize that the Sacraments have a visible and invisible reality, a reality open to all the human senses but grasped in its God-given depths with the eyes of faith." (USCCB) The Sacraments are divided into: the sacraments of Christian initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist); the sacraments of healing (Penance and Anointing of the Sick) and the sacraments at the service of communion and mission (Holy Orders and Matrimony). The sacraments touch all the important moments of Christian life. All of the sacraments are ordered to the Holy Eucharist “as to their end" (Saint Thomas Aquinas).

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT REFLECTION
​​
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In today’s gospel, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain to experience the Transfiguration, a pivotal moment revealing His divine glory. His face shines like the sun, and His clothes become dazzling white, as Moses and Elijah appear, representing the Law and Prophets affirming Jesus as their fulfilment. This glimpse of heavenly splendour offers the disciples and us a foretaste of the Easter joy even amid Lent's ascetic path.
God's voice thunders from the cloud, declaring, "This is my Son, the Beloved: He enjoys my favour, Listen to him," echoing the baptism and commanding obedience. Peter impulsively offers to build three tents, but the divine interruption silences human plans, urging attentiveness to Christ's words over misguided action. The Transfiguration strengthens the apostles for the looming Cross, reminding us that glory follows suffering.
As we descend the mountain with Jesus, instructed to tell no one until the resurrection, we're called to carry this radiant hope silently through our Lenten trials. In a world of distractions, the Transfiguration invites us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ's divinity, trusting in His promise of transformation even in shadows. Let this vision renew our resolve to listen and to follow Him.
