When the Homily is about Immunology

Transfiguration
Feast within a Fast

I need today...today it seems our Mother's calendar calls me back to Christ, back to my senses really.

Last night, or should I say very early this morning I was awakened by lightning and thunder - a relatively rare occurrence here in the Northwest, but quite appropriate to the power of what we manifest in the feast today. Blinding light and loud booming potency, coupled with rain – a most welcome change from the desert-like heat and dryness, which has plagued both this geography and this soul.

Today I will eat and drink deeply. Transfiguration.
