Confession, Contrition, Satisfaction

February 25, 2018By

2nd Sunday in Lent 2018
During Lent it is important to stir up sorrow for our sins and to receive the Sacrament of Penance.  The older form for the penitent to use in the confessional expressed aspects of this beautiful sacrament that we should appreciate.  If received well,  this sacrament can even make us holier than just before we sinned, for example we have St. Peter.  The Gospel for this Sunday is about the Transfiguration and is meant to encourage us, as it did the Apostles, for the struggles we must face in the days ahead.

Co-Heirs Of Heaven

Feast Of The Transfiguration 2017

The Transfiguration of Our Lord came six days after St. Peter’s confession of Faith in the Son of God.  Then Christ took the three leading apostles up a mountain where He permitted them to glimpse His divinity while He spoke to Moses and Elias.  This was to encourage the apostles for the trials ahead.  We too are meant to be strengthened by this feast and to realize that everything leads us to our true inheritance in heaven.

Pray With All Of Your Heart

March 12, 2017By

Second Sunday in Lent 2017

The Transfiguration of Our Lord showed Him in all His Glory and it was an event that at first frightened the apostles, then reassured them in the Faith.  The Voice from Heaven, “This is My Beloved Son, hear ye Him,” shook the apostles to their very core.  We must realize that we ourselves will be transfigured and that our bodies will be glorified if we persevere in the Faith and have the humility necessary to enter Our Lord’s Kingdom after our physical death on this earth.  Peter, James and John were selected to give us a glimpse of what awaits us if we are faithful and have the humility to accept whatever Judgment is conferred on us when we ourselves meet Our Lord in His Glory.

What the Transfiguration Promises

March 16, 2014By

Sermon From The
2nd Sunday of Lent 2014
At the Transfiguration, Christ took three apostles that represent three virtues. St. Peter represents duty, St. James represents knowledge, and St. John represents love. It was as if Christ relaxed and allowed His Divinity to shine through His human nature. This was shown to the apostles and to us to save us from discouragement in suffering. We see the glory that is in store. It is an insight into Heaven. We should not be fooled by the world and its false promises but always remember that in our Communions we received the Source of all good.

A Glimpse of the Divine

February 24, 2013By

Sermon From The
2nd Sunday in Lent 2013
Today the faithful gather at the stational church of the Blessed Mother, so that we might be encouraged by the liturgy.  If we are being attacked, that means we are on the right path.  These three Apostles were chosen to glimpse the Divine because they were to witness the sufferings of Christ in Gethsemane.  God desires our sanctification, but we must avoid the vice of impurity which captures more souls than any other.  We must take this lessen to heart if we wish one day to see the triumph prefigured by the Transfiguration.
