The Second Sunday of Lent has readings reminding us of God's promise to Abram and the work of Moses and Elijah in salvation history. Peter, James and John witness Christ's transfiguration. Meaning in life comes from our past, our present and our hopes for the future. Remembering the story of salvation history, we experience ourselves in the present and hope for the future. Experiencing meaning ever ancient, ever new. “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would have not been at all. You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness. You breathed your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you. I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for your peace.” - St. Augustine Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031322.cfm Music: Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581 (Mozart) by Musicians from Marlboro is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (aka Music Sharing) 3.0 International License.
