Transfiguration Sunday: Strength for Lent – Mar 01 – Homily – Fr Bernard

Views 13


 

Fr. Bernard M. Salter gives the homily for the Second Sunday of Lent (Mar 01, 2026), explaining how Jesus' Transfiguration reveals His divinity, strengthens faith amid coming trials, and fulfills ancient prophecies through Moses and Elijah.

Father calls believers to embrace prayer and the "balance between the cross and Tabor," allowing divine grace to transfigure their own souls through both consolation and sacrifice.

Recorded at Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA.
