| The Family of God |
| |
|
The beloved Apostle of the Lord stresses that we are really sons: "and so we are" (I Jn 3: 1). We are not only creatures, but we are sons; in this way God is close to us; in this way he draws us to himself at the moment of his Incarnation, in his becoming one of us. Therefore, we truly belong to the family whose Father is God, because Jesus, the Only-Begotten Son, came to pitch his tent among us, the tent of his flesh, to gather all the nations together into a single family, the family of God, belonging to the divine Being united in one people, one family.

'As I have loved you, so you also should love one another', is the invitation that the Lord forcefully addresses to us and renews constantly: if the Father calls us to be beloved children in His dearly beloved Son, He also calls us to recognise each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.

| The Family of God |

In Jesus, the Heavenly Father inaugurated a new relationship with us; he made us "sons in the Son himself"…It is precisely on this reality that St. John invites us to meditate with the richness and depth of his words…that we are really sons: "and so we are" (I Jn 3: 1).
We are not only creatures, but we are sons; in this way God is close to us; in this way he draws us to himself at the moment of his Incarnation, in his becoming one of us.

St. Paul's life and his preaching were wholly directed to making Jesus known and loved by all, for all persons are called to become a single people in him.
This is the mission of the Church and of every baptized person in our time too.
