Saint Ambrose, Bishop, Doctor
Thursday of the 1st week of Advent
First reading – Ephesians 3:8-12
“…this special grace, not only of proclaiming to the pagans the infinite treasure of Christ but also of explaining how the mystery is to be dispensed.” The revelation is through the proclamation of the infinite treasure of Christ and the dispensation of this infinite treasure is through the Church. The comprehensive God’s wisdom according to the plan from all eternity decided that the Church becomes the instrument of distribution of the graces in Christ Jesus our Lord. That is why in the Church we can approach God in complete confidence through our faith in Jesus Christ. This plan of God, His incarnation through which the infinite treasure of Christ is revealed and the dispensation of these riches through the Church become the point of confidence in God through faith in Jesus. Let’s reflect: How much faith I have in approaching God in complete confidence?
