In today's scriptures it is very clear that each of us has a very special place in God's plan. The world may tell us different stories - fill us full of falsehoods - lies - tell us stories that fills our head with ideas of greatness - grandeur. Unfortunately - the world has its own agenda - one that does not agree with God's plan for us. The world tells us that we are number one - we are more important than any one else - that our wants - desires - are what counts - nothing else. The needs of others are not our concern. Those who believe these lies - often led far away from God.
For those who reject the lure of the world - who see those lies for exactly what they are - who listen to the voice of God - know - they are loved - forgiven - called to be Holy as God is Holy. As disciples we need to realize that we are temples - temples for the Spirit of God - that God not only lives around us - also in us. We know that God is with us and gives us the strength to cope with the ordeals - challenges of life. In our search for holiness - we are called to seek perfection - not as God is perfect - rather a purity of life - how we live - act - react to those around us. God calls each of us to become strong faithful temples in which HIs Holy Spirit lives and grows
