A foundation

“But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ. Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Cor 3: 10-11.16)

Like every building depends on the foundation, we also “must be careful how we build upon it.” If the foundation is only for a shack, how can we expect that someone will be able to build a skyscraper upon it, and vice versa—if our foundation is for a skyscraper, why did we just build upon it a garage? We are temples of God, built upon a unique foundation—Our Lord himself, “namely, Jesus Christ” and
“the Spirit of God dwells in” us. The higher we go, the better we are.

“Be built like living stones, into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood.” (Communion Antiphon)
