Redeeming The Time

The Great Lenten daily services of Typica and the Third Hour contain the Kontakion of the Feast of the Transfiguration, and the Troparion of the Feast of Pentecost, respectively. Why is this? It is for glorious reason. It is apropos that we think of these feasts during Great Lent because great Lent is preparing us for the things promised in them. We especially speak of the theological and practical, day-to-day significance of the Transfiguration, and what the reaction of a Christian to the novel coronavirus should be.
