As much as we are human beings, there is also a spiritual dimension in our humanity.
We live in a physical and material world and our senses help us to relate with this world.
But there is also a spiritual world and with our faith we can understand this world that our eyes cannot see, and our ears cannot hear.
In the 1st reading, St. Paul reminds us how we ought to behave in God’s family.
We belong to the Church of the living God, and we live by God’s truth and love.
St. Paul goes on to say that the mystery of our faith is indeed very deep.
So when we come to church for Mass or for prayer, we have come into a spiritual house where God is present in everything and everyone we see.
And we pay attention to what we hear because God is speaking to us in the prayers and in the Word of God.
And we carry this mystery of God’s presence in what we do and what we say.
Even in what we eat and drink, we know that it is God who provided all these for us and so we give thanks to God for these simple and ordinary blessings.
May we share these blessings so that our world will come to know that God is always present and granting His blessings to those who acknowledge His presence.
