Treasure in earthen vessels
Brothers and sisters, St. Paul describes the privilege of being Christ's messengers. Though we are earthen vessels, we hold the treasure that the surpass every human power. All credit and honor belong to God, not to us. Christians are under God's guidance and protection. We are afflicted in every way but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the Body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. As Christians, we already experience death and resurrection in our daily lives. Our power is not from us but from Christ.
St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us!
