Readings for the Week

Readings for Sunday, March 5:

Gn 12: 1- 4a: God calls Abraham and promises to make him a leader of a great nation respected by all.

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
.
Today’s Message: Abram places trust in God’ s promise of making his name and descendants great
on the earth. In Jesus’ transfigured glory is revealed that life and immortality will rob death of its power.
