March 1, 2026 - Second Sunday of Lent

Fr. Rob challenges listeners to adjust their lens for viewing Scripture and the Lenten season by focusing on Jesus's humanity rather than solely on his divine nature. Drawing from the Transfiguration story, he suggests that while we typically interpret this event from the disciples' perspective, we should also consider how the Father's words of affirmation—"This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased"—were meant as encouragement for Jesus himself as he faced upcoming trials and struggles. By viewing Jesus's Lenten journey through the lens of his human experience, complete with suffering, doubt, and weakness, Fr. Rob reveals how his sacrifice becomes even more profound and meaningful. This perspective also reminds us that God's love, presence, and trust are available to each of us during our own struggles and trials.
