Reflection for January 4
We are all made in the image and likeness of God. We've heard this with our ears, but do we truly believe it?
St. Pope John Paul II tells us in the Theology of the Body, that we CAN believe it when we see that the proof is stamped right in our bodies! God created us, male and female. We were made on purpose for a purpose!
Not only that, but the Holy Spirit -- the Holy Ghost, the very breath of God--lives inside us! Confidently knowing this, we can allow Jesus, the Word made flesh, to redeem our flesh from sin. He remains in us every time we receive him in the Eucharist!
"No one who is begotten by God commits sin, because God’s seed remains in him."
