Our faith tells us that the Word of God is “alive and active.” In other words, God’s Word touches our lives. God’s Word is, at one level, about people who lived a long time ago in a far- away place. At a deeper level, God’s Word is always about us. Take, for example, the gospel [...]

“Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” So says Paul in our Second Reading today from his First Letter to the Corinthians. He is reminding us of a very important aspect of our faith: God is involved in every aspect of our lives. In the second century, St. Irenaeus of Lyon said [...]
