CRITERIA FOR CITIZENSHIP

So you are no longer aliens or foreign visitors: you are citizens like all the saint, and part of God's household.  You are part of a building that has the apostles and prophets for its foundations, and Christ Jesus himself for its main cornerstone.

As every structure is aligned on him, all grow into one holy temple in the Lord; and you too, in him, are being built into a house where God lives, in the Spirit. 

Mass Readings

Heavenly Father, thank you for making me part of Your household.  What privilege. Unmerited grace, as Jesus Christ pronouncement, 'Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe'.  This is a promise to us who believe that Jesus Christ died to save us from sins. This is also for those who acclaim him Lord and Saviour.  May I aligne in Christ Jesus, for I am assured in today's reading that I am part of a building that has the apostles and prophets for foundation and Christ Jesus the main stone.

"You believe because you can see me. Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe" Saint Thomas
