Sa ikalawang Linggo ng kuwaresma pinaalalahan tayo ni Hesus na ang ating misyon bilang mga alagad niya ay maging instrumento sa pagbabago ng ating pamilya at lipunan. Si Hesus habang nananalangin ay nagbabagong anyo. Ang pangyayaring ito ay nagbibigay ng lakas at inspirasyon na harapin Niya ang kanyang misyon sa Herusalem, ang pagpapasakit para sa ating kaligtasan.
