Imagine a voice that shakes the heavens. A light that makes you radiant from within.

That’s what St. Benedict wants us to experience.

This week, we hear about the divine thunder and deifying light that rouses us into the fullness of life.

God doesn’t just illuminate our path, He transforms us into His image.

Let’s reflect on what that means for you.
