Transfiguration and Transformation

Weylin Lee reflects on how Jesus' transfiguration invites us to transformation and change as we enter this season of Lent [Mark 9:2-9].

Reflection

• How might you be invited to expand your symbols of God?
• How is listening to Jesus being embodied in your life?
• How are you being invited to sit in the paradox of wholeness and woundedness?

Practice

• Expanding our symbols for God. Use a different image or word to refer to and connect with God. How does this new image or word expand the container you’ve placed God inside?
• Listening to Jesus exercise. Read the Gospels during Lent and pay attention to what Jesus said and did.  Use a different translation or listen to the text. In your listening, wrestle with and discern how to embody his words and actions.
