Spiritual Quote of the Day (Renee Roden, on the Continuing Memory of the Transfiguration)

“The Eucharist—the community’s shared anamnesis or remembering of Christ’s sacrifice and Christ’s revelation of himself in glory—makes Christ truly present in our world. Rather than building a monument in response to holiness, we are called to become the living stones. Our lives, our hearts, and our communities are called to become a testament to the transfiguration we have seen. The church is not real estate. We don’t need to pitch a tent. We just have to go out and share the memory.”—Journalist and author Renee Roden, “A Reflection for the Feast of the Transfiguration,” www.USCatholic.org, July 31, 2023

The image accompanying this post, The Transfiguration, was created by the Italian Renaissance painter Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, a.k.a. Raphael (1483-1520).
