Word Today (We are God’s co-workers)

September 2, 2020

1Cor3:1-9

Lk4:38-44

"I must proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God."

Christ came to start building the Kingdom of God, where love for God & neighbor reigns, & all who join in the construction are saved.

St Paul says, "We are God's co-workers." (1st Reading)

Building the Kingdom takes many types of work - healing, serving, bringing in outsiders, praying, preaching, etc. God gives each of us a participation to keep us focused & fulfilled in life. He equips us w/ specific skills for the work He assigns.

St Paul says each work is equally important; jealousy & rivalry will only slow down the construction.

May we have the commitment to serve the best we can & find purpose, meaning & joy in our lives.
