Blessed be God

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him.
In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ,
in accord with the favor of his will,
for the praise of the glory of his grace
that he granted us in the beloved.
In Christ we have redemption by his Blood, the forgiveness of transgressions,
in accord with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us.
In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us
the mystery of his will in accord with his favor
that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times,
to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
--Eph 1:3-10

We are all made to be with God. It is from Him that we have our being and it is to Him to whom we long to return at the end of our lives. The path that we travel to return to God is marked out for us by Christ, who is not only our guide but also our companion on the journey. This is the Truth of who we are, which St. Paul captures in his letter to the Ephesians. How do we acknowledge this Truth in every aspect of our lives?
