The next few weeks of “ordinary time” the first reading will be taken from Paul’s second letter to the Church in Corinth. Corinth was Paul’s problem child and, despite that?, because of that?, he had a special affection for them. The Apostle kept stressing with them that they were made for more than a sinful mess. “God has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ.” And by gazing on the face of Jesus by means of faith we “are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.” Focus on Jesus, see in him the “image of God,” and realize that because of Jesus we participate in God’s merciful love.
