The Feast of the Transfiguration reminds us to lift our eyes to Heaven. On the mountain, the disciples caught a glimpse of Christ's divine glory. This is a promise of the eternal glory we are all called to share. May this feast renew our hope and strengthen us to follow Him with faith each day.

The Basilica of St. Mary Major is the oldest and largest church in the world dedicated to Our Lady. Tradition tells us that Mary appeared to Pope Liberius in a dream, foretelling a miraculous snowfall in August, and asking that a Church be built there in her honour. Every year, this miracle is remembered with a beautiful shower of white rose petals released from the Basilica's dome.

While we often search for spirituality in books and sacred writings, it often lies just under our noses. A case in point is that of Jeremiah who is told to “go to the potter’s house” and God would “speak (his) word” there.
