In this sermon preached by the Rev. Canon Anna E. Rossi, inspired by a summer storm and the mountaintop visions of scripture, we are invited into awe before the holiness of God. This holiness is revealed not only in overwhelming power but in justice, equity, and love. Echoing Moses' transformation and Jesus' transfiguration, Rossi calls us to be formed through prayer, community, and sacrament. Holiness is not for the mountaintop alone but sends us into the world for the sake of others. At the baptismal font, we remember our call: to live as consecrated people in God's own mission.

The Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ:​ • Exodus 34:29-35 • Psalm 99 • Luke 9:28-36
