H/T to Gerald Augustinus and Denise for this most powerful homily.
This is Fr. Paul Weinberger, pastor of St. William the Confessor Church in Greenville, Texas. I've seen this priest's work before and he maintains a "Grotto-like" atmosphere. You can see photos by following the link.
He delivered a powerful Transfiguration homily that weaves together August 6, 9, and the 15 with some rather intriguing historical facts from earlier centuries up to more modern times.
Read this thing from beginning to end. It is a bit long, but no more than a full 5-7 minutes of actual reading time. The ending is especially profound and moving.
Go there and read Fr. Weinberger's homily...
