Ephesians 3:2-12 / Luke 12:39-48
Flying a kite may seem to be like child's play. But it can be quite a feat to get a kite up in the air and fly it high.
In fact a lot of aero-dynamics is involved, like the model of the kite, the material it was made of, the type of string that it was attached to, etc.
Kites were first developed in China around 2,800 years ago, and among its many uses were transmitting messages, measuring distances, signalling, etc.
Yet, kites can only fly when there is a wind. And kites can only keep aloft when the wind is blowing.
What St. Paul said in the 1st reading is liken to someone flying a kite, indicating that there is a wind blowing, as he said this - If you read my words, you will have some idea of the depths that I see in the mystery of Christ.
It is the Spirit of God that revealed the mystery of God to him, hence he felt the duty and the mission of preaching the mystery of God to the pagans.
His message was like a kite in the sky, indicating that there is a wind blowing.
The Spirit of God continues to blow in our hearts so that the message of salvation can be seen in our lives.
May we rise like kites in the sky that is powered by the Spirit of God.
