Today's second reading struck me like never before. The line about how at the end of time, when all things have been subjected completely to Christ, he will subject himself to the Father so that God may be all in all. "All things have been delivered over to me by my Father," Jesus said (I think it's Matthew 11 or a parallel of that text). But Jesus is never "unto" himself: he is always "to the Father." So of course, in the Trinitarian life, all is gift, to be unceasingly given and received. And we are destined to be "in" the gift of the Son, fully and completely.
Today one of our sisters entered into that realm of gift. Sr. M. Aparecida, born in Brazil, completed her earthly life on the Feast of Christ the King. Sister was a precious little rascal all her life. "Enter into the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world!"
