“We Shall Be Like God”
The writer of the First Letter of St. John attests to God’s transformative love. “See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called children of God.” The writer repeats, “We are God’s children now.” This love of God is transformative because “we shall be like” God (Second Reading).
With the Beatitudes, Jesus teaches us how we can allow God’s love to transform us to be like God.
Today, as we celebrate All Saints, we celebrate all those who have responded to God’s transformative love that makes them like God.
They have done it. How about me?
