At Mass, during the Eucharistic prayer, we are called to proclaim the “Mystery of faith”.
We respond with the proclamation that the Lord Jesus died and rose from the dead, and will come again in glory.
It is called the “Mystery of faith” because as much it is revealed to us who Jesus Christ is, there is still much more to be revealed to us as we enter deeper into the mystery of salvation.
Each of us will understand that mystery according to our own capacity and we will live out that mystery of faith in accordance to our own abilities.
That is why in the 1st reading, St. Paul tells us that when we read his words, we will have some idea of the depths of the mystery of Jesus Christ.
And from what we know we will then put it into practice.
But as Jesus tells us in the gospel, the evil one wants to break into our lives and break our faith so that we will follow the ways of the world instead of the way of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
And we know what is the way of Jesus Christ, we know that we have to be alert and stand ready to face the challenges to our faith, and we know that we have to be faithful to the teachings of the gospel.
Faith is a gift from God to us. With faith we will rise to understand the mystery of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Let us put that faith into practice and be witnesses to the saving love of God for the world.
