Today's Homily: Second Sunday in Lent (2025)

Homilist: +Jerome Seleisi On this Second Sunday in Lent, the Church presents the Transfiguration to fortify us against the trials of the Cross, just as Christ strengthened His disciples by revealing His divine glory before His Passion. The stational church, *Santa Maria in Domnica**, reminds us of the Virgin Mary’s perfect discipleship, echoing the Father’s command: **“This is My beloved Son: hear ye Him.”* The Gospel’s repetition from Ember Saturday emphasizes its crucial lesson—true glory comes through suffering, and we must follow Christ both in trial and in triumph. Like Peter, we may long to remain in consolation, but Christ leads us down the mountain, calling us to perseverance. Lent is our ascent through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, preparing us for the ultimate glory of the Resurrection.
