About this episode

This homily reflects on the Transfiguration during Lent, emphasizing the importance of spiritual practices and the sustaining taste of the kingdom amidst suffering.

This homily explores the Transfiguration in the context of Lent: climbing the mountain, witnessing Jesus’ light, and hearing the Father’s voice. It reflects on how a heavenly glimpse breaks into our suffering and what that means during this Lenten season. It draws connections between the mountaintop experience and daily Lenten practices, how the apostles received a sustaining taste of the kingdom, why they were sent back down, and how that taste can fortify us through trials. Listeners will hear key takeaways and a simple spiritual challenge: spend five minutes each day in quiet prayer this week, asking the Lord for a taste of the kingdom to sustain your Lenten journey.
