8/6/23 Identity Precedes Mission

From Sunday Homilies with Fr. Mike Schmitz Ascension

Homily from the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord

Claimed. Respected. Trusted.

Jesus Transfigured on the top of Mount Tabor precedes His journey to Mount Calvary. On Tabor, He is not merely transfigured...He is Claimed, Respected, and Trusted as the beloved Son. We too need the Father's voice to voice His claim over us, His respecting us, and His entrusting a mission to us.
