Thursday, April 18: “Incarnation Empowers Change”

Colossians 1: 27: “God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

When the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, it was the beginning of Incarnation (John 1: 14). When Christ (the Anointed One) took up residence in us through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8: 9-11), the Incarnation continued. And just as Christ on earth changed things forever, so the glorious mystery of Christ working through His mystical Body, the Church, is the most glorious hope for divine change in this long-awaiting world (Romans 8: 19).
