The RomanCatholic Lectionary today looks at the action which comes to life when we are
aware of the Presence of God in the Body of Christ. Paul as a prisoner in Rome
writes to the Church in Colossae about his situation in captivity from where he
rejoices in the suffering he has and is enduring as he continues his mission
from Jesus to bring the Word of love to all. The power which drives Paul and
which draws deep Love from saints like Peter Claver is that mystery of the
Divine which transcends time and linearity. The Presence is. Jesus continues to
be the Will of the Father toward Creation. The trust of the psalmist in
deliverance and salvation from God, the tireless evangelism of Paul, and the
instruction of Jesus to the man with the withered hand to receive Divine
healing in the synagogue on the Sabbath, from the Gospel of Luke today, are
manifestations of this Love without bound in time and place. The great mystery
for which Paul and saints spend themselves is that God is with us in full
component of our lives, joy, trust, faith, anguish, anxiety, hope and
suffering. Let us rejoice!
