Homily #100228 ( 16min) Play – Fr. Angelo Geiger preaches on today’s Gospel of the Transfiguration of the Lord on Mount Tabor in front of Peter, James and John. Jesus does this in order to strengthen the faith of his disciples so that they could survive the scandal of the Crucifixion. We need to take note that only one of these three disciples remained with Jesus at the foot of the Cross. So we need to make sure that we fully apprehend all the revelations that we are given through our Holy Faith, especially Our Lord’s presence in the Eucharist.

Ave Maria Meditations
+
a meditation on THE FIRST GLORIOUS MYSTERY:
THE RESURRECTION
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor, glory and praise!” (Rev 5:12)
Meditation:
The Glory of Faith: “Faith is the confident assurance concerning what we hope for, and conviction about things we do not see.” (Heb 11: 1)
The glorious resurrection of Our Lord continues in the glory of this most Blessed Sacrament BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE OUR RISEN SAVIOR DWELLS, pouring out His life, His light, and His love to all who come into His presence. If our faith in the Eucharist is weak, then we simply pray “Lord, I do believe, help my unbelief.”

Homily #080505 ( 13min) Play – During the nine days between the ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost the Disciples all gather around Mary and pray and so make the first Novena. They pray in anticipation of the Spirit. Fr. explains the central role of Mary at both Pentecost (where the body of Christ, the Church, is formed) and the Annunciation (Where Jesus the head of the Church is formed). He then relates this to the need for fidelity among believers and refers to aberrations at Catholic Relief Services and threats to Home Schooling and forcing Catholic organizations to hire Homosexuals.
