GOD IS WITH US The
Book of Wisdom tells us that the spirit of God is in all things. What a
wonderful thought, and what a wonderful image to keep in front of us as we
travel down life’s road. For if the path is revealed in the treading, it’s
good to know that God is with us—and all around us—every step of the way. But
Paul knows that this divine presence is not timid. Instead, God calls out to
us, and Paul prays that we, along with the Thessalonians, might be made
worthy of that call. And who knows more about God’s call than Zacchaeus, the
tax collector? Jesus called him out of a tree, for goodness’ sake. Or perhaps
more correctly, as we reflect upon the end of today’s Gospel reading, for
heaven’s sake. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. |
