“Everything, my son, has meaning. Every word, every gesture, every deed.” (Inner Word)
Becoming aware of this is a path to maturity. It is a final awakening to the reality of God. This certainly does not mean anxiously worrying about whether you are doing something wrong, because that would cause you to become inwardly tense. Our Heavenly Father certainly would not have wanted that, and it would run completely counter to His caring love for us.
Yesterday, at the end of the reflection, I mentioned that I would like to highlight one more sentence from St. Paul to examine more closely. For it is a profound statement that the Apostle to the Gentiles entrusted to the church in Colossae. Here it is:
“Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister…” (Col 1:24-25a)
Paul is the great apostle to the Gentiles. We remember that, on his way to Damascus to arrest Christians, he experienced his conversion through an encounter with the Lord.
