Dear Holy Pilgrims:
Beloved pilgrims, along the journey of LENT - a story for you:
Two men from the city were on a camping trip. Every night, the mosquitoes were so fierce that they had to hide under their blankets to keep them from being bitten. Then one of them saw mass of fireflies and said to his friend, “We might as well give up. They’re coming at us with flashlights!”
Friends, we’re like the two men on a camping trip, called: a passage of renewal in the SEASON OF LENT. However, fear hides us under a blanket of a desperate humanity immersed in a pathetic world of hopelessness.
But today, in Matthews’ transfiguration narrative, Jesus is like the numerous fireflies searching for our broken lives shattered by racism, greed, hatred, betrayal, violence and discrimination. With his burning light, he will restore us to who we are from the beginning of creation – God’s image and likeness; and garb us with his dignity and divinity that guarantees us of our transfiguration. St. Paul’s words from the second reading affirm how indispensable we are in God’s eyes, he said:
“He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according to his own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began…”
And if that’s not enough proof of God’s love for us, reflect deeply on these words of Jesus:
“I have called you from all eternity and you are engraved from all eternity in the palms of my hands. You are mine. You belong to me, and I love you with an everlasting love.”
Then, Jesus will reboot and reenergize our hearts to be fireflies of mercy, love, forgiveness and com- passion. As a result, we will be flying all over the place in laying into action St. Francis of Assisi’s prayer, when he said:
“Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.”
And when we’re able to practice in our lives St. Francis’ prayer, God’s words from the first reading comes to us with hope, God said:
“I will bless you… so that you will be a blessing… [and] all the communities of the earth shall find blessing in you”. Blessings!
