with all the saints

The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
First Reading:
Psalm:
Second Reading:
Gospel:
Hosea 11:1, 3-4, 8-9
(Ps) Isaiah 12:2-6
Ephesians 3:8-12, 14-19
John 19:31-37

Ephesians 3:18  may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

Though the mystery and the love of God is beyond human understanding, we are still able to wrestle with it with all the saints.  The body of Christ is more than just Jesus and me.  It is Jesus and all the saints, and everything that we know is the total revelation of God to all his children.  We must protect ourselves from thinking that it is just Jesus and me.  That can lead to pride and bad doctrine.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to take into account that I don’t know everything and I must live as a part of your body and community.

Amen
