God is no longer as mysterious to His people as He once was because Jesus, in John 14, declares Himself "the Way, the Truth, and the Life", with direct access to the Father.
Jesus reveals that God does great works among us, and He continues to make Himself known in doing these works among us. A great example is in the first reading, when the early Church addressed a controversy of some widows' needs getting neglected. Men filled with the Holy Spirit were called to meet those needs, serving as the first deacons.
Today, we join with all people of the church as living stones building ourselves into a spiritual house where God's spirit dwells and continues to do even greater works among us.
