Sunday Reflection (August 4, 2024)

Sunday Reflection on Ephesians 4:1-16

The book of Ephesians encourages us to “lead a life worthy of the calling God has called us.” This calling is not an attitude of spiritual superiority but an attitude of humility, gentleness, patience, and, above all, love. This love, expressed through humility and gentleness, leads to unity. This unity is not uniformity. Instead, the diverse gifts and talents each one of us brings, all rooted in love and humility, strengthen the unity of Christ’s Church, making each of us valued and integral.    

We are all in ministry together to build up the body of Christ until we come to maturity. With Christ as our head, we grow in love, a transformative force that shapes us into a new humanity that bears witness to the love of God revealed in Christ. With its transformative power, this love unites us as “One” and serves as our inspiration and hope, filling us with a sense of purpose and optimism.    

Prayer for the Week (August 4, 2024-August 10, 2024)

God, you have given us your Son Jesus Christ as the bread and drink of life. Give him to us today as our daily bread, so that with him we pass from death to life. May his life flow within us and among us, so that we may become Christ’s body in the world.  We ask this through Christ our Lord eternally dwells with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever more.  Amen.
