The
SECOND SUNDAY of LENT.
CLOUDS and TRANSFIGURATION. |
|
|
In
the Bible, in a poetic way, the writer imagines that on the second day
of Creation, God made the sky and clouds.
Today we add the sky and clouds to our collage. |

In today's Gospel, St. Matthew (Chapter 17: 1-9) tells us how Jesus went
to the top of a mountain with Peter, James and John, who saw him transfigured.
They saw him in a new way, shining in white robes. Moses and Elijah, Old
Testament prophets, saw God's glory when they were high on a mountain.
Now the disciples see the glory of Jesus. Briefly, they see Moses and
Elijah with him. They would understand by this that all that Jesus did
and meant, was a continuation of God's entire plan for his people.
God often appears in a cloud in the Bible. This tells us about the wonderful
mystery of God, who today tells the disciples to listen to Jesus' teaching.
Jesus was saying new things and they sometimes still had doubts. |

gave us lots of Blue Tack, so we make figures of ourselves on a mountain,
as we listen to Jesus' teaching. We realise we can transform our lives
with God's help. Jesus fills everything in everyone. We are transfigured
in Blue Tack! |
