Week 2:

Celebrating Goodness

In Matthew’s Gospel (Chapter 17: Verses 1-9) this week, Jesus is transformed – his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light – and we examine the question of our own self-worth and God’s love for us just as we are.

Closing Prayer

Jesus,
you are the face of God.
Through the light of your indwelling presence,
may we experience the wonder of our own self.
Transform our lives with your gifts of faith, we may bring light to the world.
This we ask in your name through the power of your spirit.

Amen
