Our faith teaches us that to be exposed in light with the realistic disposition of Jesus — humble, confident and faithful to the Father who loves — prepares us to shine, to dazzle in glory. In other words, to become like Jesus.

Reflecting on the gospel episode populalrly dubbed as the “Transfiguration of Jesus” which appears on the three synoptic gospels and is suggested liturgically by the Church for contemplation every second Sunday of Lent, seems to draw and invite us to consider what it means to be exposed in light. The gospels are unanimously mum about what was going on in Jesus’ mind at that time. But we can make a good guess out of the hints given by Matthew, Mark and, especially, Luke.
To be assured of love liberates one from fear. It is a confidence booster. After all, “perfect love drives out fear.” The season of Lent is a season of reflection and reckoning. It is a season that invites us to allow ourselves be scrutinized and exposed in light.
