We promote an excellent book on the life of Christ, "The Lord" by Fr Romano Guardini, a German priest from the mid 1900s. This is one of the the best books on the life of Jesus in the last couple hundred years.
In particular, this sermon is based on the chapters related to the Transfiguration of the Lord.

The First Sunday of Lent is characterized by Psalm 90 (91), Qui habitat, which contains the lines related to the angels lifting up those who are faithful to the Lord.
In addition to using this psalm extensively for the extremely long Tract (which takes about 13 minutes to sing in the proper tones), all the antiphons of the Mass and also the gradual come from this psalm. Furthermore, this psalm is quoted in the Gospel (by the devil).

We conclude our series on the Mass with discussion of the Consecration and how the Church treats the Host with highest reverence after the Consecration - because the Host is truly Jesus. We also consider Holy Communion and the thanksgiving after Mass.
