A God who Relates
Thursday, 11th week in Ordinary Time
2 Cor 11: 1-11; Mt 6: 7-15
St Paul wishes that the believers stand in front of the Lord as brides and Jesus proposes a parent-children relationship between God and humankind. A Christian vision of God would refer to God in terms of relationship believers have with the Divine, rather than in terms of a power or an impersonal being.
This relationship should be characterised by two elements: Cordiality and Difference. Cordiality would be the closeness a person feels with the Divine according to one's experience and need. But closeness alone would not suffice because a genuine cordiality should lead one to a concrete difference in one's life and in those around. A truly Christian life would be filled with meaningful relationships as we port within us the image of a relating God.
