The readings for the 2nd Sunday of Lent make us think of God’s revelation of himself to us and how we recognize him. The first reading (Genesis 22:1-2, 9A, 10-13, 15-18) tells of how Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac, but God stopped him. The psalm (Psalm 116:10, 15, 16-17, 18-19) reminds us that we walk in the “land of the living”. The second reading (Romans 8:31B-34) tells us that Jesus intercedes for us. And in the gospel (Mark 9:2-10) tells of the Transfiguration, where the voice from the heavens revealed Jesus as God’s beloved son to Peter, James, and John.
