2 Tm 1:8b- 10: God has saved us. He has called us to a holy life. He has brought life to us through the
good news of the Gospel.
Mt 17:1 - 9: Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James, and John. God acknowledges his Son and bids the disciples to listen to him. Jesus asks them not to reveal this vision until after the Resurrection
