His Suffering is our Glorification
The Lord's Transfiguration reveals the destiny and hope of a glorified humanity, accomplished through Jesus' Passion and death. My homily for this weekend is posted here.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
nice homily, Fr. C! having served at four feneral Masses and attended one in the past two days, i couldn't help but think about the Passion, death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus, particularly now during Lent. there was certainly plenty of time to reflect on how loving and forgiving God really IS! Abraham's love for God is found in his determination not to spare his own son; God's love for us is proven in the sacrifice of His Divine Son on the cross. if we keep in mind that we are all created in love and for love and then try to respond faithfully to that love, then God's divine glory might radiate and shine through us as we go out into the world to share this GOOD NEWS! PEACE ~tara t~
ReplyDeleteEl amor que Abrán demostró por Dios al estar dispuesto a sacrificar a su propio hijo es sobrenatural. Conque nosotros demostraramos la tercera parte ya me daria por contenta.

ReplyDeleteI have a theological question about the transfiguration.
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that prior to the harrowing of Hell, Moses and Elijah would have been in the Limbo of the Fathers.
Did they have to go back there after the transfiguration and wait for Holy Saturday?
That would make for a long Lent.
