How can the Church be continuously renewed from glory to glory?

The apostle says, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18): namely, continuous spiritual renewal. The Word of God came down to us that He may elevate us above the literality of the law to the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Such elevation will never cease as long as we are guided by His Holy Spirit.

St. Jacob of Sarug says, “The Church says: I do not seek the things of old that I may be honored by them, but I seek the new things that pertain to the mysteries of the Son of God. I do not seek the Jordan where the leper was cleansed, for Baptism grants life (2 Kings 5:14). I do not need Siloam to heal sicknesses (John 9:7), for I have within me an open spring of life that heals wounds. I do not seek the manna that rots if left overnight (Ex. 16:20), for I eat the Son’s Body all my days. Through it, the new life is hidden within me … It heals my wounds and cleanses me from defilement. I do not seek the pillar of cloud nor the bronze serpent made by Moses, because I have instead the life-giving Cross that gives light to my darkness and protects me from harm. I do not seek the tabernacle of the covenant, whose mysteries were interpreted as being Mary’s embrace. I am not like the daughter of Zion who oppressed her Lord and after all the blessings she received, she hanged Him on the tree. She forsook Him and committed adultery so that He drove her out of His house and granted me, I the lost one, all His riches. Come forth, O Church and inherit the Son’s treasures for the old one was freed from her idols. Come, O you the adulterous one, whom He sanctified by the Cross and baptism and whom He set free, that you may rejoice with Him in His Kingdom.”
