God has called us through the Gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Read this acclamation slowly a couple times, and let it sink in. We are called to possess the glory of Jesus. We are called to share in the divine life of God. We are called to be children of God, members of His divine family, participators in the covenant, heirs to the Kingdom.
We receive this call through the Gospel, through Divine Revelation in writing but also in the Person of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God, as we enter into intimacy with Him.
How, then, do we answer this call to glory? Do we read and reflect on Scripture? Do we pray? Do we repent of our sins and ask for God's mercy? Do we embrace the sacraments? Do we welcome Jesus into our hearts in the Eucharist? Do we reach out for intimacy with Him?
We are called to glory, and this glory will find its fulfillment in Heaven when we see God face to face.
