Transfiguration - Your Memorial

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
