"All in All"

St. Paul teaches us today,  that Christ is all in all.  In him there is no room for immorality of any kind, division, or exclusion; our hearts are to be open to receive him.  Indeed, Jesus teaches that material wealth as well cannot stand in the way, for it is subject to the whims of the wind. No, our security, our true contentment, is found only in him.  Easy words to write, but a different story to live. To foster this Christ-centered life, we need to listen carefully to what our life situations, our ups and downs, our worries and fears are telling us.  Where do we find our peace?  In what or who do we invest our energy...and why?  A daily, or periodic examination (examen) of our priorities and preoccupations will give us an indication of how close we are to living the words of Paul and Jesus. A prayer for guidance to the Holy Spirit will lead to the answer of how we can refocus, redirect, and replace what's in our barns with the Christ who is All in All.  Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with the fullness of Jesus.
