Knowledge of the mysteries of God are given in two forms – directly and indirectly. Sometimes God can teach his secrets through "special classes" like he did with the Apostles; at other times he takes a roundabout way for those who need more visual and even audio aids to fully understand what he is saying. But in either case the good news is that God wants to communicate to us who he really is.
Imagine that! God revealing himself to us! But he does so so that we can know who he is, so that we can love him and serve him!
And the reward that we will get for knowing, loving and serving him will be the joys of resurrected new life! And as he explains in the first reading, it will be not just a return to life in the body as we know it – it will be a NEW LIFE – a bursting forth into a spiritual newness, with a new spiritual body and all that goes with it!
Today then let us learn more about the secrets of the mysteries of God – through the experience of his communicating to us at this Mass – and in other ways.
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts!
