A DOSE OF ASTONISHMENT

2008_02_17_transfigurationThis homily is based on Luke 9:28-36 for the Second Sunday of Lent.

It’s not every day during his earthly life that you see our Lord bathed in heavenly light. In fact, such displays of divinity are quite few and far between. Unless my memory fails me, this so-called Transfiguration of the Lord is probably the only recorded one aside from the Resurrection appearances and the Ascension–which don’t really count because that’s already the Risen Lord we’re dealing with.
