From the Desk of Father Mark - Our Pastor
March 1, 2026 - Second Sunday of Lent

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
"Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead’."

Jesus once again has ascended a high mountain. It is on the mountain that the Father makes himself known to Jesus, and Jesus makes himself known to the apostles. After this identification, Jesus and his apostles descend the mountain. Their work and their ministry are to continue.
