SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT A Lectionary #25
The promises made in a covenant between God and the chosen one are fulfilled in all those who are invited to share in this covenant.
Genesis 12:1-4. The covenant with Abram/Abraham is the foundation of God's covenant with the Chosen People. All future generations are blessed in this covenant.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (32) 33
A hymn praising God for continuing care for the people of the covenant and a reminder that God alone is the savior.

2 Timothy 1:8-10. The covenant in Jesus has the same foundation as the covenant in Abraham: God's grace. It is only because God is merciful that we have been invited to share in the divine life.
Matthew 17:1-9. The story of the transfiguration shows Jesus fulfilling the covenant promises made in the Torah (Moses) and interpreted by the prophets (Elijah). Jesus is God's chosen one, though that fact won't be made clear "until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
