February 17th is the Second Sunday in Lent. The reading from St. Matthew's Gospel teaches us that Jesus is the new and greater Moses. He is transfigured before the eyes of three of His disciples, Peter, James, and John, and He speaks with Moses and Elijah who appear beside Him. Like Moses, Jesus is enveloped in a cloud on a mountain, but in order to make Jesus more fully known and reveal His divinity, God the Father proclaims that, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."

Readings:

Genesis 12:1-4
Psalm 33:4-5,18-20, 22
2 Timothy 1:8-10
Matthew 17:1-9

Here are a few commentaries on these readings:
