Fr. Marvin’s Reflection - March 1, 2026

In today’s Gospel (Matthew 17:1-9), the Lord appeared to Peter, James, and John in all His glory on Mt. Tabor, with His "face shining like the sun" and His clothes "white as light." Through the power of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us, we too can experience, witness, and share in the glory of the Lord. Reflect on how our Lord Jesus has revealed His glory to you during this season of Lent. How have you become more aware of His presence?

The three apostles audibly heard the voice of God the Father coming from a cloud above, confirming Jesus as "my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him." God the Father reminds us to remain faithful to His Son and calls us to listen to Him and His will for our lives. How have you heard the voice of the Lord and grown in your relationship with Him through your current Lenten prayers and sacrifices?

Upon hearing the voice of the Father from the cloud, Peter, James, and John prostrated on the ground in fear. But Jesus came to them and said, "Rise, and do not be afraid." What fears or insecurities does our Lord need to remove from your heart so that you can freely surrender your life to Him?

In Christ,
