Transfiguration Sunday, Year B

Here we are, once again, at the cusp of a change in the season. Sometimes we treat Transfiguration as if it’s the last Sunday in the season after Epiphany, a kind of exclamation point to the Ordinary Time that takes us from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday. But this year, we chose to make this a stand-alone Sunday, which is appropriate given that this day belongs not to Ordinary Time or Lent but in the liminal space between the two.

In each narrative for this Transfiguration Sunday, we find something big – something almost apocalyptic – happening to move us from one way of understanding the world to another. This is why our team settled on the title “Crossing Over.” For our part as the church, we are likewise “crossing over” from one season to the next. We bid farewell to the rhythmic normalcy of Ordinary Time, with its comfortable call stories and Gospel worldbuilding, and we become reacquainted with the pain and perseverance of the Lenten journey to the cross.
