In “Thor: Ragnarok,” Bruce Banner and the Hulk, they are fighting against each other. They’re the same person, but they need to be integrated better. But then you see in the movie, “Endgame,” Bruce Banner and the Hulk are truly one. They are no longer fighting against each other. They are integrated well. Bruce Banner is the Hulk, and the Hulk is Bruce Banner. Today we celebrate the Transfiguration of the Lord, where Jesus Christ is 100% divine, 100% human.
His divinity doesn’t take away from His humanity. His humanity doesn’t take away from His divinity. Jesus Christ is perfectly integrated into His divinity and humanity. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Say that three times fast. On this day of the Transfiguration, Jesus Christ, the Lord of the universe, actually wants you to know Him. He wants to be known, and we can truly understand the Lord.

I think a lot of the times we are not set on fire, or we forget that we have been given His love and given His Holy Spirit, that we walk around like zombies…

Don’t Say Whatever, Say Amen
I’ve been to many weddings recently. Love is in the air. At one wedding, a man came into the church wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. The best man approached him and said, “Dude, you can’t be here like this.” And the friend responded, “Whatever, man.” In the Gospel, for this Sunday, a wedding guest is not wearing his wedding garment. He’s saying to the whole wedding party…

Desire and Act to Heal
In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus shares with us, “If a brother sins against you, go to that brother and share his fault with him alone.” This message is so powerful for us, and we can take this teaching and completely ignore it. What do we do when someone sins against us when someone hurts us? We tell every single person in the universe except for…
