II LENT (aka in some circuits, "Transfiguration Sunday")

Each year on the Second Sunday of Lent, one of the evangelists (this year, Matthew) gives an account of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Though the actual feast of the Transfiguration falls on the fixed date of August 6, the Gospel echoes that theme this Sunday.

Today's hymns reflect the Transfiguration theme as well.  The seasonal hymn, The glory of these forty days, mentions Moses and Elijah in the second verse.  The middle verses of today's offertory hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus, depict the dazzling brightness of the garments of Christ.  Finally, today's recessional hymn, O wondrous type..., gathers all the elements of today's Gospel reading in the first three verses.
