Cardinal Dolan’s Second Sunday of Lent Homily: March 5, 2023
| 03/5/2023
By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan
In today’s homily, Cardinal Dolan discusses wakes and funerals.
They are sad events, but there are usually photos displayed of the deceased during happy and joyful times.
Cardinal Dolan says that’s kind of what Jesus had in mind at the Transfiguration in today’s Gospel. Jesus knew He would be killed soon.
However, in that time of sorrow and loss, He wanted His followers to remember the joy of the Transfiguration. Jesus knows that life is a mixture of joy and sorrow, life and death and He is there for us for both.
We hear in scripture today that our God prefers tears over sacrifices. We share in the merciful work of God by sharing mercy with ourselves.
