Today is the Feast of the Transfiguration, a celebration that I love and has special meaning to me. When I think about being transfigured, I imagine that something powerful has occurred and nothing will ever be the same again. I also know that the Light that shines from my face will affect change in those around me.
My summer is going quickly and many things have happened which I have not yet processed. There is much from the cruise that needs to be sifted through—and a remaining “homework” task of writing my life statement or vision from the Stephanie Staples workshop. I have not had much time to work on that yet but I do think about it. My time with friends in Ontario was fun and relaxed. The Jesuit Congress was intense and compacted. I want to live more fully into a few transfiguring moments of that experience.
I have a few more treats yet to experience this summer, including a reunion with a few of my interpreting classmates. I return to work earlier this year and I am a wee bit apprehensive that I may not have the time to rest and reflect that I may need. At one point, I will have a 14-hour drive by myself that will provide that opportunity, I suppose.
God is transfiguring the world through each of us. God believes in you and me. God needs us to buy into transforming the world and each other. God loves you…and me. Have you had opportunities this summer to allow God to shine through you?
Peace,
Suzanne
