Opening Stories:
1) The Samurai Warrior and the Zen Master
One day, a Samurai warrior went to a Zen master for instruction. "Please," the huge man asked in a thundering voice that was used to instant obedience, "teach me about heaven and hell."
The master scowled at the swordsman, then broke into mocking laughter. "Me, teach you about heaven and hell? I wouldn't waste a moment trying to instruct the brain of an overweight ignoramus like you! How dare you ask me for such a lofty insight?"
Well, upon hearing these words, the Samurai grew furious. No one could insult him like this and get away with it. Enraged, his face flushed and he drew his sword to chop off the teacher's head. Just as he was about to strike, the master raised his hand and calmly said "That, sir, is hell."

Readings Gn
15:5-12,17-18; Phil 3:20-4:1; Lk 9:28-36
Theme Jesus’
transfiguration and his agony are complementary
episodes. They highlight the divine and the human dimensions of Jesus.
A movie called Mask is based on a true story of
a 16-year-old boy named Rocky Dennis.
He has a rare disease that causes his skull and the bones in his face
to grow larger than they should.
Lent 2 Sunday C - Liturgy
Greetings (See Second Reading)
The Lord Jesus Christ will transform
our perishable human bodies
and make them glorious like his own.
May his light and peace be with you.
R/ And also with you.

General Comments
Though we usually refer to this incident as the Transfiguration, Jesus’ appearing in glory was only the first stage of the experience the apostles had with him on the mountain. In your meditation then, feel free to enter the story at any stage, and even to remain with any part of the story that touches you, although you might also want to identify with the entire experience taken as a whole.
