The Old Testament Reading for the Second Sunday of Lent is the Binding of Isaac from Genesis Chapter 22.
The Gospel Reading was the Transfiguration of the Lord from the Gospel of Mark Chapter 9.
Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud came a voice, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
Abraham was asked to sacrifice his beloved son, the son of the promise. In faith, Abraham obeyed but God spared his son. For love of the world God sacrificed His beloved son, the true son of the promise. Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his beloved son prefigures God's sacrifice of Christ on cross.
COLLECT FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT: O GOD, WHO HAVE COMMANDED US TO LISTEN TO YOUR BELOVED SON, BE PLEASED, WE PRAY, TO NOURISH US INWARDLY BY YOUR WORD, THAT, WITH SPIRITUAL SIGHT MADE PURE, WE MAY REJOICE TO BEHOLD YOUR GLORY. THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOUR SON, WHO LIVES AND REIGNS WITH YOU IN THE UNITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD, FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.
