And when we think about it, we realize that we are lowly, and it's amazing to consider that God has chosen us, imparting to us wisdom, and bestowing on us the benefits of righteousness, sanctification, and redemption so that we live as His people.
Indeed, as people of faith, our lives are ultimately about a relationship with God, and how we show it in our lives. We are blessed to not follow the ways of the world, but to do something drastically different, striving to be poor in spirit, and for purity, because we will see God and make Him known. Even when we face opposition for being people of faith, we are blessed because our relationship with God is so paramount in our lives, that, even in dire circumstances, He still works mightily in us.
I think about the final Sunday of January 4 years ago in Panama City for the Concluding Mass of World Youth Day 2019. We who gathered there were blessed to have that taste of Heaven, to give us direction in our lives now to follow the ways of the Kingdom that transcends this Earth, yet is ever present in giving us purpose.
