Feb 24 – Homily – Fr Joachim: Transfigurations Toward Salvation

Homily #130224b ( 11min) Play - Fr. Joachim preaches on the Transfiguration of Our Lord and how this relates to the three transformations of our lives from a natural mode of operation to a supernatural one in the process of being saved. The first is at baptism when we are given sanctifying grace and enter into the mystical body of Christ, the Church. The second is the penances that we undertake during our lives, carrying our cross in the footsteps of Christ, to wean ourselves from concupiscence and the final is at death when we are purged and transfigured into our glorified bodies to share in Christ's glory.
Ave Maria!
