Lesson Overview

In the Gospel for the second Sunday of Lent, Jesus is revealed in His full glory as God at the Transfiguration. During Lent, we reflect in a special way on the full humanity and full divinity of Christ and how our God fully knows our human condition. In this lesson, students will analyze sacred art to help them contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation.

Arrange students into small groups and have them read the essay on Handout B: Jesus’ Divinity and Humanity, and then reflect on the paintings together using the discussion questions.
