WATCH: This Sunday, Glory Overwhelms Death

This Sunday comes the strange story of the Transfiguration, when Jesus becomes dazzling white and chats with Moses and Elijah.

What does it all mean?

In his remarks for the Second Sunday of Lent, Year C, Father Marian Charboneau says it means that suffering does not have the upper hand in Jesus’s life — or ours.

Father Marion Charboneau is a monk of St. Benedict’s Abbey on the campus of Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He also teaches history at the college.

St. Benedict Abbey’s 60 Seconds for Sunday series of videos looks at each upcoming Sunday’s readings.

The monks at the Abbey, along with the Benedictine Sisters at Mount St. Scholastica, are what make Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, Benedictine.
