The report of the Transfiguration that closes the season of Epiphany, the time when we look at the character of Jesus, ends with the Father speaking from the clouds, “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.” Lent that started this Wednesday with ashes and the confession of our mortality is also a commitment to try and listen and draw nearer to God in the next forty days. God is always present but we are not always focused and paying attention. And even if we pay attention, we don’t always understand and often afraid to admit our confusion. I love the song that is sung by many different artists, “Open Our Eyes.” I go back to the version by Maranatha Singers from my young adult years. Blessings as you listen.
