3rd Sunday of Lent
Luke 13:1-9
Jesus presents the parable of the barren fig tree in the context of two disasters that had happened in Jerusalem. The first was the massacre of some Galileans by Pilate in the temple. In connection to this event, Jesus was asked ‘did these people suffer because they were worse sinners than other Galileans?’ The other incident was the collapse of a tower in Siloam which left eighteen people dead. Again, people felt prompted to ask Jesus ‘were those eighteen persons who perished worse sinners than others who lived in Jerusalem?’ The answer Jesus gives to these questions is negative, but in both replies he warns his listeners to ‘repent’, or they too will perish. It is clear that Jesus does not attribute tragedy or accident directly to any particular person’s sin. Instead, He affirms the sinfulness of everyone. Whereas victims of calamity die physically, anyone who does not repent faces spiritual death. The parable of the barren fig tree is then told by Jesus.

2nd Sunday of Lent
Luke 9:28-36
For me, two lines stand out in St Luke's account of the Transfiguration. The first is 'Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep'. This instantly reminds me of another time, following this event, when Peter, James and John are found sleeping by Jesus; in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Transfiguration and Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane are very much linked and not just because Peter, James and John were found to be sleeping during both events. For Peter, James and John, Jesus' closest disciples, the glory of the Transfiguration is to be a time of preparation for the horror of the garden. Archbishop Fulton Sheen puts it very well: 'To believe in his Calvary, they must see the glory that shone beyond the scandal of the Cross'.
