Three Mountains: A Homily for the 2nd Sunday of Lent

Teaching & Preaching: Deacon Matt's homilies & podcasts

“Who can climb the mountain of the Lord? Who can stand in his holy place? (Ps 24:3). Who, indeed? Who can climb this mountain with Jesus? Who can approach the Temple and enter the Holy of Holies that is Calvary? Who can bear his suffering? Or who can bear his glory, for that matter? Psalm 24 gives us the answer: “The man with clean hands and pure heart, who desires not worthless things, who has not sworn to deceive his neighbor” (Ps 24:4).

Homily for the 2nd Sunday of Lent (Year A) preached on Sunday, March 5, 2023, at St. Mary Mother of God Roman Catholic Church by Deacon Matthew Newsome.
