The Transfiguration – Jesus’ transfiguration was a moment of hope for the disciple, giving them the strength to endure the future sacrifices they would make as they formed the early Church.  As we continue our journey with Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl, let us be mindful that our Lenten sacrifices help to give hope to our brothers and sisters in need.
