March 01, 2026 (Lent II)

This homily explores the Transfiguration in the context of Lent: climbing the mountain, witnessing Jesus’ light, and hearing the Father’s voice. It reflects on how a heavenly glimpse breaks into our suffering and what that means during this Lenten season. It draws connections between the mountaintop experience and daily Lenten practices, how the apostles received a sustaining taste of the kingdom, why they were sent back down, and how that taste can fortify us through trials.  Listeners will hear key takeaways and a simple spiritual challenge: spend five minutes each day in quiet prayer this week, asking the Lord for a taste of the kingdom to sustain your Lenten journey.
