This Homily (16 minutes) was given by Deacon Charles Rohrbacher at the 5:30 evening Mass. This homily by Deacon Charles Rohrbacher reflects on our preparation to renew our baptism into Christ at Easter through the Lenten penitential and ascetical practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in the light of the transfiguration of Jesus. Just as Christ was trasfigured on the mountain top we were transfigured at our baptism.

Fr. Scott Settimo's homily was not recorded. Here is a short summery of his homily.
The Israelite people were called to be “a people peculiarly [God’s] own.” Just so, in his letter to Timothy, St Paul affirms God’s invitation “to a holy life.” In the transfigured appearance of Christ on Mount Tabor, Matthew’s Gospel shows us, quite literally, what holiness (or sanctity) looks like. Even in our day, we are sometimes privileged to see the glory of the eternal “breaking through” into our world. We should see it, at least with the eyes of faith, in the Mass.
Readings: Genesis 12:1-4a; Psalm 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22; 2 Timothy 1:8b-10; Matthew 17:1-9.
