✨ Beyond the Mountain: The Truth Revealed at the Transfiguration (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a homily for the Second Sunday of Lent (Year C), focusing on the Transfiguration of Christ. He emphasizes the need for the faithful to move beyond the comfort of the "mountain" (our fleeting spiritual highs) and embrace the divine truth that Christ is not just a prophet, but the glorified Son of God.

The Meaning of the Transfiguration:
The Vision of Glory: The Transfiguration offered the Apostles a glimpse of Christ's divine glory to prepare them for the scandal of the Cross. This message encourages us to seek similar divine clarity in our own faith journey.

The Call to Action: The homily urges us to descend from our comfortable spiritual moments and actively live the faith in the world, inspired by the vision of Christ's ultimate victory.

Lenten Focus: This message is a powerful Lenten reminder that fasting and prayer are meant to purify our hearts so we, too, can be transformed by God's grace.

Don't stay on the mountain! Carry the vision of Christ's glory back into your daily life and let it transform your Lenten journey.
