Transfigure America: Repent or Perish – Aug 06 – Homily – Fr Andre

 

In the homily for the Transfiguration (Aug 6, 2019), Fr. Andre exhorts the faithful in America to take to heart the words of God the Father, who spoke from the cloud: “This is my chosen Son; listen to him.”

America, with such potential for moral leadership among the nations, has become a leader in immorality. The Law and the Prophets, represented by Moses and Elijah in today's Gospel, stand in witness of Christ, and represent the call to conversion and adherence to God's revealed will, most precisely, to the teaching of His Son, Jesus Christ. May America listen to the Father, and the Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
