The 2nd Sunday of Lent 1st READING GENESIS 15:5-12, 17-18 (Covenant with Abram) By faith, Abram finds favor with the Lord. The Lord makes a covenant, that is, establishes a special relationship, with Abram and his descendants. RESPONSORIAL PSALM 27 (Union with God) The Lord is my light and my salvation. 2nd READING 1 Philippians 3:17-4:1 (Citizenship in Heaven) Paul exhorts us to turn away from worldly pleasures and to reject sin. He reminds us that we are not of this world. THE GOSPEL OF LUKE 9:28b-36 (Listen to Jesus) The glory of Christ is revealed, and God manifests the special mission of Christ.
