“it is Christ in you, the hope for glory.” – Col 1:27
I was struck by this line in second reading for Mass this Sunday. Essentially Paul is stating that God shares the mystery of life with man through each of us. By our baptism Christ comes to reside in us, we become temples of the Holy Spirit. Do our lives, reflect this reality? Have we like Mary in today’s gospel, made Jesus our number one priority? At the end of the Mass, the Deacon or Priests directs us to, “go in peace glorifying the Lord with our lives.” If people do not see Christ in each of us, we will not be able to attract others to the faith.
A suggestion for all of us this Sunday is to take some time to reflect on how the glory God is reflected in our lives. If you are lacking in some areas, consider imitating Mary and make time to sit at the feet of the Lord and listen to him by meditating on sacred scripture, going to Eucharistic Adoration, or attending daily Mass.
Viva Cristo Rey!
