A big thank you to all the families who visited our classrooms and shared in the school picnic. A wonderful atmosphere of community spirit and fun was ever-present!

Last Sunday was the second Sunday of Lent. In the Gospel we heard the story of the glorious transfiguration of Jesus.

“Jesus went up a high mountain with Peter, James and John. As they looked, Jesus changed; his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke with Jesus. Then a voice spoke from a shining cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but only Jesus. As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order. ‘Tell no one about the vision until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.’

Transfiguration! When something is transfigured, it simply means that it is changed. Through living perfectly the will of his Father, Jesus’ body took on the full glory of God. We too are called to follow Jesus and live God’s will.

During Lent

What areas of our lives do we need to change (transfigure) in order to follow Jesus more closely?
