I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God, forever

I think it is amazing to think that what generations of people could only dream of, a hidden mystery, has been revealed to us.
Generations of God’s people could only dream of what we have been given—Christ in us.
“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Col. 1:27
The Holy of Holies, the most sacred of places, the innermost place of temples built for God… that place is us. We are God’s temple, and there is no limit to how much we can be filled by God.

“The one mediator, Christ, established and constantly sustains here on earth his holy Church, the community of faith, hope, and charity, as a visible structure through which he communicates truth and grace to everyone. But, the society equipped with hierarchical structures and the mystical body of Christ, the visible society and the spiritual community, the earthly church and the church endowed with heavenly riches, are not to be thought of as two realities. On the contrary, they form one complex reality compromising a human and a divine element. For this reason the Church is compared, in no mean analogy, to the mystery of the incarnate Word. As the assumed nature, inseparably united to him, serves the divine Word as a living instrument of salvation, so, in somewhat similar fashion, does the social structure of the Church serve the Spirit of Christ who vivifies it, in the building up of the body.” -Lumen Gentium, Vatican II

that’s some beautiful theology right there.

I like to challenge the faithful to grow in holiness and become saints. When I give a confirmation homily to children, I ask them, “Are you called to be saints?” It is amazing that a number of them say no. The adults in attendance look stunned by the question. I then tell them we are all called to holiness, and we are all called to be saints. Vatican II teaches this; Christ tells us this in the Gospels.

My brothers and sisters, you must make room for silence in your lives! Make a time every day when you set yourself apart from the restlessness of your activities. Make a place in the silence of your hearts where Jesus can speak to you — and where you can listen and speak back to him. This will help you grow in your friendship with God.
