once called Constantinople, was established by Constantine to be the new capital of the Roman Empire. A \u201cNew Rome\u201d as he called it. Perhaps in antiquity Constantinople and the \u201ceternal city\u201d of Rome could have been comparable, in the contemporary age they couldn\u2019t be more different.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have just concluded our time in Rome with an audience from Pope Francis at the Vatican. This marked my third return to St. Peter\u2019s in Rome. What has always surprised me about St. Peter\u2019s is how remarkably well kept it is. The fa\u00e7ade is clean and crisp, the colonnade stands tall and strong, adorned with statues of the early saints. Granted it underwent renovations during the Renaissance, but the point still stands.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our last day in Istanbul, I made my own personal trek back to what once was St. Peter\u2019s eastern sister, the Haggia Sophia. As a Christian, entering Haggia Sophia nowadays comes with mixed emotions. For me, as a Christian who also comes from a Muslim lineage on my father\u2019s side, the emotions are even more conflicting.\u00a0\u00a0I was in awe of her grandeur: huge, curved shapes that converge into her mighty dome, golden surfaces, and detailed stonework. Yet there was still a sadness that it is no longer a Church, that the Eucharist is no longer celebrated within her walls and Christ is not proclaimed as Lord from her nave.\u00a0\u00a0I am glad that the Hagia Sophia is still treated with reverence, and her history has not been completely erased. The mosaics that depict Christ and the Blessed Mother remain. However, the Haggia Sophia is in need of restoration. The paint is beginning to chip very noticeably and stone has begun to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image5129_7f9a95-34.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image5129_7f9a95-34 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:682px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5129_7f9a95-34.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5129_7f9a95-34 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image5129_7f9a95-34{max-width:682px;}.image-is-svg.kb-image5129_7f9a95-34{-webkit-flex:0 1 100%;flex:0 1 100%;}.image-is-svg.kb-image5129_7f9a95-34 img{width:100%;}.kb-image5129_7f9a95-34 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5129_7f9a95-34 size-large kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture1-2-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-5130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture1-2-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture1-2-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture1-2-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture1-2.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><figcaption>Ceiling of Hagia Sophia vs. St. Peter\u2019s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until I saw St. Peter\u2019s Basilica again that I was reminded of my experience of the Hagia Sophia, and then something dawned on me.

Well, that\u2019s what they are designed to do. Churches, especially those in the baroque style in Rome, are designed to look like heaven. They invite the visitor\u2019s gaze a reality beyond anything they have seen prior, to the heavenly Jerusalem. This is what happens at every Mass: heaven touches earth at the altar when the Holy Spirit is called down and bread is turned into God. However, as we saw more and more Churches in Rome, which are all aged to varying degrees, I was reminded that while these Churches are still beautiful and grand and provide us a glimpse to the heavenly banquet, it is still just a glimpse, a glimpse in stone and glass. And eventually glass shatters and stone breaks. There will come a day when the gorgeous fa\u00e7ade of St. Peters eventually erodes and crumbles, when Rome and her buildings and will turn to dust, and when the Hagia Sophia will be no longer a Church or Mosque but an old ruin among ruins. Yet this is not a pessimistic note. The fact that the earth will pass away is not new, we are reminded of this every Ash Wednesday. \u201cRemember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.\u201d But there is a Resurrection, there is eternal life. We will enter into a life and world which will never crumble or die, because we have a Savior who is not dead and will never die again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:682px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17{max-width:682px;}.image-is-svg.kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17{-webkit-flex:0 1 100%;flex:0 1 100%;}.image-is-svg.kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17 img{width:100%;}.kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5129_c7c9e9-17 size-full kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-land43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-5132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture3-1.png 624w, https:\/\/usml.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture3-1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>-Ryan Nooraee, Diocese of Rockford<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have just concluded our time in Rome with an audience from Pope Francis at the Vatican.
