THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: 'God chose to make known... the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you' (Colossians 1:27). This was from our morning prayer readings. Paul here points to an underlying human mystery, which is that Christ is found in each of us. The reality of faith, the riches of faith, come alive when we know it secretly and intimately as well as publicly. Our Bible reading, our prayer, our worship, are ways to deepen the knowledge that God is alive within us and God's love is a love which can be known from within.
