2nd Sunday in Lent – A – Mt 17, 1- 9

'Mountain' has a special role in the Holy Bible. It is a place of intensive God experience. We see in old testament Abraham, Moses, Joshua and many other specially called persons experiencing this special nearness of God on various Mountains. In Psalm 48, 1-2 we read,
„Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God.
His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.“

Geographically, a mount is higher place. It has the history of years.
Those who are on its top, will have better air and another view of the nature. The first word, most of the people utter on the mountain will be
“It is so beautiful”.
