Thus, in short, a relationship of communion is at stake: the so to speak vertical communion between Jesus Christ and all of us, but also the horizontal communion between all who are distinguished in the world by the fact that they "call on the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Cor 1: 2). This is our definition: we belong among those who call on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, we clearly understand how desirable it is that what Paul himself was hoping for when he wrote to the Corinthians should come to pass: "If an unbeliever or an uninitiated enters while all are uttering prophecy, he will be taken to task by all and called to account by all, and the secret of his heart will be laid bare. Falling prostrate, he will worship God, crying out, "God is truly among you´" (I Cor 14: 24-25). Our liturgical encounters should be like this. A non-Christian who enters one of our assemblies ought finally to be able to say: "God is truly with you". Let us pray to the Lord to be like this, in communion with Christ and in communion among ourselves. 62
REFLECTIONS ON THE WRITINGS OF ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE REFLECTION 1 Quietly read over the passage from 2 Corinthians 4:7-11. What are the fragile areas of your own life? How do you respond to them? What is the “treasure” within your own fragile existence? REFLECTION 2 In what ways have you become a “new creation” through your faith? REFLECTION 3 As you reflect n your personal journey of faith, can you discern distinctive moments of “conversion”, times when you discern distinctive moment of “conversion”, time when you have been truly “turned around” by God’s grace? Have there been moments of dramatic change? Times of more gradual transformation? REFLECTION 4 Read Romans 8:28-39. In this passage Paul expresses his irrepressible confidence that despite all kinds of obstacles, nothing can separate us from God’s love. Can you compose (in your memory or in writing) a similar list of obstacles that seem to interfere with your hopefulness in life? Do you have the same confidence as Paul that everything will eventually work out for good? 63
