This is my beloved This is my beloved This is my beloved This is my beloved
Son, with whom Son, with whom Son, with whom Son, with whom
I am well pleased; I am well pleased; I am well pleased; I am well pleased;
listen to him.listen to him.listen to him.listen to him. In today's Gospel, the voice from
heaven speaks to the disciples saying, “Listen to him.” The Transfiguration was a focused moment for the disciples
when they heard God speaking to them and experienced Jesus in glory. They most certainly left this focused moment with a new appreciation for the importance of Jesus' words even if they did not yet understand everything that he had taught them.
During Lent, we are invited to consider our attentiveness to Jesus and to one another. In the pace and noise that often characterizes
family life, how well do we listen to one another? What opportunities do we have for quiet prayer?

LENT II - JUSTICE
For many of us the word Justice brings up images, thoughts, or feelings of life situations or relationships being made "right." Justice is a balance in power, and evening up, a this-for-that. As children, we often called it being "fair". If my sister gets a new toy it was only fair that I should too. When we are wronged - we do not get the job we wanted, our child is not chosen in school, our government makes choices we do not like, a family member betrays our trust - we want justice. At the very least, we want the scale balanced, and often we want our offender to pay. Only then will we have the justice we seek. People have thought about justice this way for thousands of years. But when we meet Jesus of Nazareth, watch his actions, and listen to his words, a different view of justice emerges. It is in Jesus that we begin to know God's sense of justice. It looks very different than our own, and yet, ironically, it is the only way
that the balance and reordering we seek can actually happen. Jesus did not bring about the Kingdom of God by replacing one person over another. Much to his disciples' surprise, he did not replace their oppressors with themselves. Instead he spoke of a way of life where there was no oppressor and no victim. A kingdom where there is one God and many followers, one shepherd of one flock. He put his talk into practice by socializing with women, acknowledging children, dining with sinners, and calling the enemy friend. Jesus did not live a just life
that was aggressive; rather he was assertive. He was not interested in restitution but RESTORATION. As Christians we know justice to be a life that is restored.
