SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
LISTEN AND FOLLOW
“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” And listen they did.
From that moment on, Peter,
James, and John were ardent followers, forsaking everything to
follow in their Master’s footsteps.
Like the psalmist crying, “O Lord,
I am your servant,” the three disciples committed themselves to lives
of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day on the
mountain, they never again wavered in their chosen vocation.
Though our tests may not be as
severe as Abraham’s and our peak
experiences not as dramatic as the
Transfiguration, we all face the
daily challenges of walking
“before the Lord in the land of the
living.” As we follow our varied
calls to love and serve, let’s be
comforted by Paul’s reminder to
the Romans: “If God is for us, who
can be against us?”
