2nd Sunday in Lent

Jesus went up the mountain to pray.  Mountains are religiously significant because many important events occured there, and in today's gospel, God declares He is well pleased in Jesus his Son, to Moses, Elijah and the three disciples who accomanied Jesus.  Fr. Emmanuel wants us to go up the mountain too, to pray for blessings for ourselves and others.  He reminds us of the great importance of prayer, and to pray when we are healthy, because we may be unable when we are sick.
