March 1, 2026, Second Sunday of Lent, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

The Transfiguration of Christ is closely tied to the Passion, as it occurs just before Jesus' journey to Jerusalem and death. It acts as a preview of his resurrected, glorified body.

In today's Gospel, the Second Sunday of Lent (Matthew 17:1-9), the transfigured Lord Jesus, accompanied by Moses and Elias — representing the Law and the Prophets — reveals His divine glory, foreshadowing His resurrection from the dead.

Appearing in dazzling white on a mountain, Christ confirms his identity as the Son of God, connects his divine nature to the coming Passion, and reinforces the disciples Peter, James, and John's faith before his crucifixion.

He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end of all things, the Holy One of God who brings our own transfiguration as the goal to attain.

The Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17, Mark 9, Luke 9), a solemnity celebrated on August 6, highlights Christ as the fulfillment of the Old Testament as the Divine Voice.

"This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him!" proclaimed the voice of God.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
