Ah, Saint Paul! Sometimes you weary me with your ancient patriarchal Hebrew baggage! Sometimes i am offended, even dismayed that one chosen in Love can sometimes still play the Pharisee role in which you persecuted with fervour!
Then you speak such magnificent words, these feel to me more true to the Holy Ghost that unites us. Through God's glory we are strengthened with power in our shared Spirit. And, that Christ dwelling in our hearts through our daily and active faith may root and ground our love for him and one another. And, that wisdom may be ours to share, the wisdom of the saints, those who gave up their Self and found the Truth.
"And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:19)
Dearest Saint Paul, bless you today for reminding me of that love that surpasses my own knowledge, that love that transcends my limited mind with its world preoccupations and fears. And in that state of love that unites us with and in and through Christ, we may be filled with Love, Truth, the enormity of All There Is in God, or simply put, that we might find our way home.
Deo Gratias.
