By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor
"If we don't immerse ourselves deeply in the passion and death, how we will immerse ourselves deeply in the resurrection, the new life that comes from the cross?" Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the 19th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, on Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. "This mountaintop transformation tells us that from death can come life. Form sin can come grace. In total rejection, Jesus was able not to hate, not to condemn, but to love and to forgive. This story is our story, and it's mean to wrap us and transform us and give us new life. That's why we say this is truly the time of redemption. And what we do is come to this Holy Week, really, just to expose ourselves to this great story and to the power of God in our lives."
