We are God’s children

“Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure.” (1 Jn 3: 2-3)

Our identity is described by the name: “God’s children.” This is the way, how Our God looks at us, how He leads us and protects us. He loves us and this defines everything—our beginning and our final in Heaven. How happy we are!

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord.” (Gospel Acclamation)
