Yesterday was the Feast of the Transfiguration when Jesus in glory appears with Moses and Elijah to a small group of his disciples. Preparing for this day, I was reminded that all of us will be with Jesus, Moses, and Elijah, when reading one of the books that Sr. Judy has recommended to our group. This is a good passage for some lectio divina; it's from Chapter 2, "Why Benedictine Spirituality for Protestants?"

One day we will gather at the eschatological banquet, surrounded not only by God's chosen from every nation but also by his chosen from every branch of Christianity.
