“In his corporal reality in his transfiguration he is the world redeemed…. Through him transitory creation is lifted into the eternal existence of God, and God, now invulnerable, stands in the world, an eternally fresh start…. Early modernism manufactured a dogma to the effect that Christianity was anticorporal, that the body was the enemy of the spirit…. We know that all creation groans and travails in pain until now…. Redemption is more than an intellectual process, an interior disposition or emotion; we must learn all over again to grasp its divine concrete reality.”

Romano Guardini
