Through surrender doors open

The texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today are of praise and surrender to the will of the Divine. The passage from the Acts of the Apostles relates a missionary journey of Paul. The persecution and the praise go together as he is brought near death after being stoned In Antioch God is praised for opening a door to the Gentiles. The psalmist conveys the position of humility when he realizes that all flesh by nature is living in praise of the Divine. John tells of Jesus explanation of His decision to be the love of the Father through living and dying in accordance with the will of the Father. Doors open, live is glorified and love triumphs in the harmony with the Spirit of the Creator.
