2022 Second Sunday of Lent

In your smallness, do you trust that you are protected?

In this enlightening homily for the second Sunday of Lent, Father Jegar encourages us to lift our eyes and expand our perspectives beyond the immediate and mundane. Drawing parallels between the awe-inspiring architecture of European churches, particularly the Gesu in Rome, and the spiritual journey each Christian is called to undertake, he uses the motif of looking upward to symbolize a spiritual awakening.

Father Jegar reflects on the biblical story of Abram, whom God led outside to look at the stars and envision his future descendants, illustrating how God invites each of us to step out of our comfort zones and trust in His grand plan for our lives. This homily invites listeners to consider their own lives as part of a greater narrative, urging them to trust in God's protection and to recognize their small, yet significant place within the cosmos. By engaging with this message, listeners are encouraged to not only seek out the beauty and vastness of creation but to find comfort in their own insignificance as part of God's greater design.
