EQUAL

Today at the Holy Mass, the second reading touched me. St. Paul clearly explained how God sees us. For him there is no Jew or Gentile (no racial discrimination), no man or woman (no gender bias), no slave or free (no status difference). He sees as all one - as his children. Actually he does that because of what Jesus, his own precious Son, did for us. By his death and rising again, Jesus gives us all an opportunity to experience new birth. When we are thus re-newed, we get the likeness of the SON OF GOD i.e. JESUS CHRIST. This enables us to enjoy all the heavenly graces of our Father in heaven. God sees us as his beloved precious children. He cherishes us and he wants to enjoy the wonderful graces of his love. We are needed. We are not inferior to anybody. We belong. We are one. We are special. Thanks to Jesus, who enables us to know that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL and we are LOVED.
