In this lecture on 2 Corinthians 2:15-17, Fr. Gabriel explores Saint Paul's imagery of Christ's triumphal procession, drawing a parallel between the Roman emperor's victory parade and Christ's ultimate victory over sin, death, and the devil, explaining that Paul sees himself as the incense-bearer offering praise to the triumphant Christ. He discusses how the preaching of the Gospel can seem like foolishness — a crucified God — yet is the true power of God, and reflects on the mystery of how each person will one day encounter Christ face to face, encouraging the group to focus not on the "last page" of the story but on faithfully living the current page of their lives, drawing closer to the Lord through humility and daily devotion.
