Friends in Christ, as Christians, we believe that all that we have and all that we are,  is a free gift from God. We have done nothing to deserve it all. It is all thanks to the love, grace and will of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. All we are called to do, is to respond with faith so that we can transformed to radiate that love and glory of God to others. 

The Scriptures for this 2nd  sunday of Lent A remind us of this truth. 

In the first reading Abram is called by God to respond in faith to God's instructions and informed that he will be blessed with greatness and in turn bless others. He had done nothing to deserve this. In the 2nd reading St Paul tells Timothy that part of the response to God's call is to endure suffering for the sake of the gospel, trusting not in our own power but that of God who has saved us.

And in the gospel, Jesus is transfigured and commands his disciples not to tell anyone about what they had witnessed until after his resurrection. Friends, we pray for the grace to respond to God’s call in faith every day of our life.
