Your Memorial Transfiguration
"...the Christian life is simply a process of having your
natural self changed into a Christ self, and that this
process goes on very far in time. One's most private
wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to
be changed...As long as the old self is there its taint
will be over all we do. We try to be religious and become
pharisees. We try to be kind and become patronizing.
Social service ends in red tape of officialdom.
Unselfishness becomes a form of showing off. I don't mean
of course that we're to stop trying to be good. We've got
to do the best we can...The real cure lies far deeper.
Out of our self and into Christ we must go."
