Dig deep for a strong foundation

The texts of the Roman Catholic Lectionary today challenge the idea of a surface affiliation with the Divine. Paul asserts that the believer is aware that we are in communion with the Body and Blood of Christ. The tendency to be distracted by the idols which gratify our needs is a rejection of the bounty of goodness praised by the psalmist in celebration of intimacy with the Divine. Luke presents Jesus use of the parable to express the completely sensible concept that good things come from good people. The person who speaks the words of the believer yet does not work on deepening the understanding of the relationship risks loss of all when the storms of faith arrive.
