The Epiphany of the Lord

You have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for your benefit, namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation. It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:  that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

We are all coheirs to the Kingdom. We are all members of the same body. We are all copartners in Christ. We are all called to work with each other to give glory to God and build up the Church. We are all tasked with becoming stewards of the faith, doing God’s Will in all things. We are all given the opportunity to be good and faithful servants, who give witness to the faith by sharing ourselves with others. We all have a vocation to be priests, prophets, and servant leaders, leading people to the Way, the Truth, and the Life by word and example. There are many who are only exposed to Divine Truth through us and we have a responsibility to proclaim the Good New through our every thought, word, and work.

Are we good and faithful stewards of our faith? How can we become better coheirs of the Kingdom, members of the Church, and copartners with Christ? What can we do to fulfill our callings to build up the body of Christ?

O Lord, we want to be better stewards of your grace.

Amen.
