Abstract
At the heart of our faith is an invitation to remember the past differently thanks to the gracious love of God manifested in the crucified and risen Christ. We are invited to place our memories’ wounds in the wounds of Christ and to give thanks for our joyous memories by commemorating all the saints, especially those who from their labors rest. To be sure, the movable sites of Christian worship do not erase other sites as carriers of powerful memories. But they relativize the significance of particular places, and offer a more determinative geography for our memories.
