Day 13 – Sharing Christ\u2019s Sonship<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians:<\/p>\n

But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,\u00a0to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, \u201cAbba! Father!\u201d\u00a0So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. (Gal 4:4-7<\/em>)<\/p>\n

From Pope Saint John Paul II\u2019s Letter Tertio Millenio Adveniente #8<\/em>:<\/p>\n

The religion which originates in the mystery of the Redemptive Incarnation, is the religion of “dwelling in the heart of God”<\/em>, of sharing in God’s very life. Saint Paul speaks of this in the passage already quoted: “God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ ” (Gal <\/em>4:6). Man cries out like Christ himself, who turned to God “with loud cries and tears” (Heb <\/em>5:7), especially in Gethsemane and on the Cross: man cries out to God just as Christ cried out to him, and thus he bears witness that he shares in Christ’s sonship through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, whom the Father has sent in the name of the Son, enables man to share in the inmost life of God. He also enables man to be a son, in the likeness of Christ, <\/em>and an heir of all that belongs to the Son (cf. Gal <\/em>4:7). In this consists the religion of “dwelling in the inmost life of God”, which begins with the Incarnation of the Son of God. The Holy Spirit, who searches the depths of God (cf. 1 Cor <\/em>2:10), leads us, all mankind, into these depths by virtue of the sacrifice of Christ.<\/p>\n

Reflection:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As we practice the religion that dwells in the heart of God,we also remember that the heart of God dwells in the womb of Mary. The great dignity that has been given to us by Christ is that we can share in the inmost life of God by sharing in Christ\u2019s Sonship. Because the Son of God has also become the Son of Mary, we learn His Sonship by going back to the starting point of the God-man, in the womb of Mary. There we allow ourselves to be formed by the Holy Spirit, the artisan of the Incarnation. There we discover that we have an Eternal Father in God and we have a tender Mother in Mary. This is our foundation, our starting point, our identity, which does not depend on our accomplishments, which we have not earned and which no one can take away. Like a baby in the womb, it is pure gift. We can only receive it and choose to keep growing as the little children of Mary God has called us to be.<\/p>\n
